Scholarships for 2009-10

Each year the ISB awards several scholarships, in the form of fee remission, to outstanding candidates. These scholarships vary in amounts and include some full scholarships. Scholarships are both need and merit based. Recipients are selected on the basis of exceptional academic and professional performance, as well as personal qualities such as leadership, integrity, and community service.

As an admitted student, you will be automatically considered for these awards and will be notified of any decision at the time of admission. The ISB will award approximately 100 scholarships ranging between INR 1,00,000 to 3,50,000.

** Application process and interview(s) by the donor.

If a student receives a scholarship, the ISB/Banks (in case of student having taken an educational loan) will be the primary recipient of the funding awarded, until the course cost/loan is covered. Any scholarship amount above and beyond this will be passed on to the student.
In case you have been awarded a ISB tuition waiver at the time you were made an offer of admission, the amount you apply for educational loan with any of the banks should be reduced by that extent.
