The Azim Premji Foundation has opened the renewal process for the Azim Premji Scholarship recipients of the 2024 cohort. This scholarship program, which supports girl students pursuing higher education, is a significant initiative aimed at promoting female education in India, particularly in the states of Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. In the academic year 2024-25 alone, over 25,000 girl students received an annual scholarship amounting to INR 30,000, empowering them to continue their education without financial constraints.
Scholarship Renewal for 2025-26 Academic Year
To continue receiving financial assistance for the academic year 2025-26, eligible recipients are required to renew their scholarships by submitting valid proof of college enrolment. The renewal process is designed to ensure that the scholarship supports girls actively pursuing their undergraduate degrees or diploma courses in recognized government or credible private colleges and universities.
Applicants can submit their renewal documents online through the official Azim Premji Scholarship website. This digital approach simplifies the process, making it more accessible and convenient for students.
Scholarship Disbursement Details
For the academic year 2025-26, the scholarship amount will be disbursed in two equal instalments of INR 15,000 each, totaling INR 30,000 for the year. The funds will be directly credited to the students’ bank accounts, ensuring timely and secure financial support.
Eligibility Criteria for Scholarship Renewal
To qualify for scholarship renewal, the following conditions must be met:
- The applicant must have been a recipient of the Azim Premji Scholarship in the previous year (Cohort 2024).
- The student should be continuing her undergraduate degree or diploma program, which ranges from two to five years in duration.
- The academic program should be pursued at either a government or a credible, bona fide private college or university during the current academic year 2025-26.
Required Documents for Renewal
Students must provide valid college enrolment proof to renew their scholarship. Acceptable documents include:
- Tuition fee receipt for the current academic year (2025-26), or
- A bona fide certificate issued by the college confirming enrolment for the academic year 2025-26.

Important Clarifications
Students who have not enrolled in any undergraduate or diploma course for the academic year 2025-26 are not eligible for scholarship renewal.
Students who have completed their undergraduate studies and enrolled in postgraduate programs are also ineligible for renewal, as the scholarship is strictly meant for those pursuing their first undergraduate degree or diploma after completing Class 12.
The Azim Premji Scholarship continues to play a vital role in supporting the education of young women in some of India’s most underserved regions. By facilitating the renewal process online and ensuring direct financial support, the program strengthens its commitment to fostering educational equity and empowering girls to achieve their academic and career goals.
