Many
scholarships are awarded by the State Government
to ST, SC, MBC, and BC students during their first year of
study. They are usually extended to subsequent years also.
NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS
The government of
India has formulated a national scholarship scheme for the award of
merit scholarship for post metric education. The award under the
scheme is made on the basis of the result of
i) H.S.C. or other school leaving certificate examination
ii) First-degree examinations viz, B.A., B.Sc., B.Com.,
Those candidates who obtain a first class
or where no class is awarded, not less than 60% of the aggregate
marks in the examination and who are on top of the merit list
of eligible candidates from the state within the quota allotted
for the state, will be eligible for the grant of scholarship,
subject to a test by standards laid down by the government.
FEE CONCESSION
Fee concessions are given
to the eligible students. The concession will be withheld from
any student who remains, for more than one year in the same
class but shall be revived on his or her being promoted to the
higher class.
The concession shall ordinarily be restricted
to those who are native of Tamil Nadu or domiciled therein.
NATIONAL LOAN SCHOLARSHIPS
The government of India has formulated a loan
scholarship scheme. The main objective of the scheme is to
provide financial assistance to needy and meritorious students
to enable them to complete their education. The scheme also
provides incentive to bright students to take up teaching as
their profession.
The loan scholarships are available for students in India only.
These will be given to students who have done full time course
of education after the matriculation or school leaving stage
of the board of education or a recognized educational authority.
Children and dependents
of defence service personnel are eligible for fee concessions,
provided they satisfy the government order pertaining thereto.
STUDENTS AID FUND
The objective of this fund is to
render free financial assistance to deserving students to meet
their tution/examination fees or to purchase books. Limited assistance is given to
students to meet their hostel mess, clothing or medical expenses
and/or meeting bus or train fares, if their needs are considered
genuine. No scholarship, stipend, loan, prize, reward, etc.,
will be given from this fund.
ENDOWMENT SCHOLARSHIPS
The college offers around 150 endowment scholarships and prizes.
These scholarships once awarded normally continue for the full
course of one year. However, they will be cancelled at any time
for unsatisfactory character, conduct or attendance of the recipient.
