As the academic year progresses, numerous scholarship programs for Indian students are available, with deadlines approaching on October 31, 2026.

The Satya Scholarship Program 2026, initiated by the Nehru Sidhant Kender Trust, provides 100% annual course fee coverage along with accommodation and meal support for eligible students pursuing medical and health sciences.

Eligibility requires a minimum of 60% marks in the latest academic year and a family income below Rs 4 lakh. This initiative reflects efforts to support underrepresented groups in critical fields through corporate social responsibility.
