Ashoka University has started the applications for scholarships for the Young India Fellowship (Class of 2025-26). Shortlisted students will receive partial or full scholarships ranging from 25 per cent to a full 100 per cent waiver covering tuition, residence, and meals along with stipends for additional financial assistance. The admissions process opened on October 15.
The Class of 2026 will comprise around 100 fellows. Candidates can apply by visiting apply.ashoka.edu.in to register and complete the online application.
Candidates of all age groups and nationalities, across diverse academic, professional, geographical and socioeconomic backgrounds, who have a recognised undergraduate degree in any discipline by July 2025 or earlier (can be a final-year student at the time of application) are eligible to apply for the YIF.
The admissions process is split into two rounds, with the first application deadline being January 5. Candidates are encouraged to apply early, even within a round, to partake in the rolling personal interview process. Additionally, some of these shortlisted candidates may be invited to interview for the Chancellor’s Merit Scholarship, stated the release.
All fellows who receive an offer of admission are guaranteed a minimum 25 per cent tuition waiver, with some also being awarded the Chancellor’s Merit Scholarship. All admitted and waitlisted candidates will have the opportunity to apply for need-based financial aid, which goes up to a full waiver on the entire fee along with stipends for additional assistance.
