Can I get scholarship due to extreme fees structure of hostel Bethune College

Yes, you’re not alone, and yes, there are multiple scholarships you can apply for to help with hostel and tuition fees:

1. Student’s Aid Fund - For students whose family income is below ₹80,000/yr. You need ≥75% attendance, good academic performance, and involvement in college activities. Apply through your department.

2. Swami Vivekananda Merit‑Cum‑Means Scholarship - If your family income is under ₹2.5 lakh/yr and you scored 60%+ in your last exam, you can get ₹1,000-₹1,500 per month (UG Arts/Science). This is a state‑level scholarship for WB students.

3. College‑level merit‑cum‑means awards - Bethune offers departmental scholarships like Chhanda Mitra (Physics), Debendranath Das (Zoology), and others for top performers.

4. State‑run schemes - You may also be eligible for WB’s Kanyashree, Aikyashree, or other minority/post‑matric scholarships.
