Student Scholarships

• Government scholarships available for on-campus students will be available to TNOU students as well.

• Candidates have to apply to the TNOU on the prescribed application forms, obtained from the relevant welfare departments, along with all the necessary documents. The University will approach the welfare departments concerned for further processing.

• TNOU is the only institution in Tamil Nadu eligible for accessing the scholarships available through the South Asian Foundation (SAF). In other words, TNOU students are the only students in Tamil Nadu to get this scholarship worth Rs. 13, 500 each. The details of the scholarship have already been sent to all the Centres.

• Note that only those students, who are below 30 years of age, currently pursue a PG programme or a vocational programme at TNOU and whose family annual income is less than Rs. 1.20 lakhs are eligible for the scholarship. The last date for the submission of application for the scholarship in the prescribed form is over for the current year.

• Note also that students have to register with the SAF to become eligible for the scholarship. Registration with the SAF involves signing the following pledge: “A dynamic South Asian culture of peace and democracy can emerge only through promotion of regional cooperation, nourished with the energy and idealism of youth.”
