The Azim Premji Scholarship 2025 is one of the biggest pushes yet to enable girls from economically weaker backgrounds to access higher education. Applications close on 30 September 2025, so eligible students must act fast to submit their forms.
Only girls who attended government schools for both Class 10 and 12 can apply. They must have secured admission into their first year undergraduate or diploma course in recognized colleges.
The scholarship provides ₹30,000 per year, directly credited to beneficiaries’ bank accounts. This support continues every year for the full duration of the course—be it a 3-, 4-, or 5-year program.
In its expanded plan, the Azim Premji Foundation aims to support 2.5 lakh girls across 18 states over three years, disbursing a total of ₹2,250 crores by 2028.
