Acropolis Institute of Technology and Research (AITR), Indore, supports students not only through quality education but also by offering various scholarships to deserving candidates. The aim is to reduce the financial burden on students and encourage academic excellence. AITR provides access to merit-based, need-based, government, and some private scholarships based on different criteria.
Students from Madhya Pradesh and other states can apply for scholarships offered by central and state governments. These include:
Madhya Pradesh State Scholarship Portal schemes
Post Matric Scholarships for SC/ST/OBC students
Merit-cum-Means Scholarships for minority students
AICTE Pragati and Saksham Scholarships for girls and differently-abled students
Students who perform well in academics can get fee waivers or financial aid from the institute or external organizations. Some scholarships are given to top performers in their respective branches.
Students from financially weaker backgrounds can apply for scholarships under various state and central schemes. Income proof and supporting documents are required to apply.
AITR also facilitates awareness about private scholarships funded by NGOs, trusts, and companies such as:
LIC Golden Jubilee Scholarship
Sitaram Jindal Foundation Scholarship
NSDL Vidyasaarathi
These scholarships are usually offered to students from low-income families and may cover tuition fees, books, and other expenses.
The eligibility for scholarships varies with each scheme. General criteria include:
Student must be enrolled in a recognized course at AITR
Minimum academic performance (as per scholarship rules)
Annual family income must be below the set limit (for need-based)
Belonging to a reserved category (for government schemes like SC/ST/OBC)
Domicile certificate (for state scholarships)
No backlogs in previous academic years (for renewals)
The process to apply for scholarships is usually online. Here’s how students can apply:
Visit the relevant scholarship portal (e.g., MP Scholarship Portal, NSP, AICTE, etc.)
Register using personal and academic details
Upload required documents such as income certificate, caste certificate, mark sheets, bank account details, and ID proof
Submit application online before the last date
Track status regularly for updates or corrections
In some cases, students need to submit hard copies to the college administration for verification.
Most scholarships are renewable every academic year based on performance.
Students must maintain a minimum percentage, have regular attendance, and avoid any disciplinary actions to be eligible for renewal.
Scholarship duration depends on the length of the course, usually 3 to 4 years for UG and 2 years for PG programs.
