Scholarships & Evaluation Criteria
We believe financial limitations should not hinder one's academic pursuits. To
that end, we offer scholarships ranging from 10% to 100% of the tuition fee, based
on the student’s academic profile. All Scholarships will be awarded by the Scaler
Impact Foundation; supported by industry stalwarts like Vijay Shekhar Sharma
(Founder & CEO, Paytm) and Prasanna Sarkar (Founder, Rippling).

Scholarships we offer:

Brightest Minds Scholarship

This scholarship recognises and rewards candidates with exceptional

academic achievements in competitive exams.

Eligibility: With exceptional academic performance in tests such as

the JEE, CBSE exam, KVPY, NTSE, etc.

Women In Tech Scholarship

To support and encourage talented female students who have a

passion for coding and a desire to pursue a career in technology.

Eligibility: Exceptional women candidates who can demonstrate their

affinity for coding through tech competitions, events, or more.

Evaluation Criteria:

▪ Academic Achievements (10th / 12th%)

▪ Achievements in JEE or equivalent competitive exams or Scaler NSET score
▪ Extracurricular projects and contributions (Technical/ Non-Technical/
Leadership roles)
▪ Family’s financial profile

Please note to ensure a fair application the scholarship decisions are rule-based and at the
discretion of Scaler Impact Foundation and Scholarship sponsors. These are final and
