Mohan Babu University (MBU) in Tirupati has announced merit-based scholarships for single girl children and first-generation graduates from the Rayalaseema region for the 2026-27 academic year. The scholarships also cover economically disadvantaged students, children of ex-servicemen and sports achievers.
MBU Executive Director and Trustee Vinay Maheshwari said the provisions aim to support students with academic potential while recognising their individual circumstances. Full scholarships are offered to Olympic, Commonwealth, Asian and South Asian Games medal winners, while national and state-level sporting achievements qualify for 50% and 25% scholarships respectively.
Indian Opinion Analysis
This move by MBU targets two often-overlooked groups in Andhra Pradesh: single girl children, who may face financial barriers to higher education, and first-generation graduates from the historically backward Rayalaseema region. The university is competing for students in a state where private institutions charge high fees. The sports scholarship is a direct incentive to attract medal-winning talent. The success of the scheme will depend on how many applicants meet the merit criteria and how much of the scholarship fund is actually disbursed.
