Aastha Institute of Pharmacy does not offer direct financial aid but provides comprehensive support to its students in securing scholarships from various West Bengal state government and central government schemes. The institute's Student Welfare Office actively assists students in applying for programs like the Swami Vivekananda Merit Cum Means Scholarship (SVMCM), OASIS, and Aikyashree. Furthermore, to foster academic excellence, the institute offers its own merit-based tuition fee waivers to annual academic toppers from each program.
The primary goal is to ensure that financial constraints do not hinder the academic journey of meritorious students. The college provides all necessary documentation and guidance required to complete the application process for these external scholarships successfully.
Students enrolled in the D.Pharm programs can apply for two main categories of financial aid: government-funded scholarships and institute-sponsored merit awards. The eligibility for these scholarships is primarily based on academic performance, family income, and social category.
Scholarship Name | Provided By | Primary Eligibility |
---|---|---|
Swami Vivekananda Merit Cum Means (SVMCM) | Government of West Bengal | Merit + Annual family income below Rs. 2.5 Lakhs |
OASIS Scholarship | Government of West Bengal | Students belonging to SC/ST/OBC categories |
Aikyashree Scholarship | Government of West Bengal | Students from minority communities |
Academic Merit Award | Aastha Institute of Pharmacy | Top academic rank holders in annual university exams |
To recognise and reward outstanding academic performance, the institute has established its own merit-based awards. These are granted automatically to the highest-ranking students, and no separate application is needed.
Rank | Scholarship Award | Eligibility |
---|---|---|
Annual Topper (1st Rank) | 100% waiver of the next academic year's tuition fee | Securing the 1st rank in the respective year (D.Pharm) |
2nd Rank Holder | 50% waiver of the next academic year's tuition fee | Securing the 2nd rank in the respective year (D.Pharm) |
The application process for government scholarships is online, but it requires verification from the institute. The institute's office provides end-to-end support to ensure applications are error-free.
Having the correct documents ready is essential for a smooth application process. Students are advised to keep both the original and photocopies handy.
