The Story in Brief
The Azim Premji Foundation has opened registration for the Azim Premji Scholarship 2026. Girl students who passed both Class 10 and Class 12 as regular students from a government school in any eligible state or Union Territory can apply. They must have taken admission in the first year of a recognised undergraduate degree or diploma course (2, 5 years) at a government or credible private college anywhere in India for the 2026, 27 academic session. Required documents include photograph, Aadhaar card, bank details, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, and college admission proof. The scholarship aims to support girls from disadvantaged backgrounds pursue higher education.
The Indian Opinion
The Azim Premji Scholarship is a welcome step, but it is limited to girls from government schools in select states. Many deserving students in private schools or from unlisted states remain excluded. The digital-only application process also risks sidelining those without reliable internet access. The real test will be how many scholarships are awarded versus applications received, if the ratio is too low, the gesture may feel more symbolic than transformative.
