As India steps up efforts to position itself as a global education hub, six international universities – the University of Aberdeen, the University of Bristol, the Illinois Institute of Technology, the University of Liverpool, Victoria University and the University of York – have collectively committed a scholarship pool worth Rs 1,000 crore to improve access to global education within India thro ugh programmes offered at their upcoming India campuses.
The initiative aims to expand seat capacity and programme offerings across high demand disciplines, particularly in AI and STEM, while also improving affordability for Indian students through a mix of meritand need-based financial support. All six universities are set to begin campus intake in India from August–September this year. The scholarship framework will support both undergraduate and postgraduate students, with tuition fee waivers ranging from 10% to 100% for selected candidates.
The scholarship framework is designed to widen access across multiple segments. Merit-bas ed support will enable highperforming students, who might otherwise pursue education abroad, to access globally aligned degrees within India through partial tuition waivers. At the same time, need-based scholarships aim to extend opportunities to students from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, including first-generation learners.
