“By enabling access to education, the Reliance Foundation Scholarships hope to give wings to dreams of young people. This is a diverse group of scholars as they are from varying disciplines of study, from nearly all the states of India and with girls and boys being equally represented.

The Reliance Foundation Undergraduate Scholarships are awarded on merit-cummeans basis to students in any stream of study. For this year, selected scholars are from streams including Engineering, Technology, Science, Medicine, Commerce, Arts, Business/Management, Computer Applications, Law, Education, Hospitality, Architecture and other professional degrees.
