Forman Christian College believes that deserving, qualified students should not give up their dreams of an education because of financial needs. The College therefore dedicates a significant portion of its budget each year to providing both merit and need based financial assistance. There are different forms of financial aid available for each program.
Eligible candidates may apply for scholarships or fee concessions at the time of admissions by submitting an application to the Rector. The Rector, in consultation with committees comprising selected members of the faculty, will make the financial aid awards.
Priority for scholarships and financial aid is given to students who show promise and have achieved high merit in their academic studies, to those who receive recommendations from others, and to students with special talents. In all cases, the awards are made without regard for caste, color, or creed.
The application for financial aid is available here. This application is for need-based assistance only. The merit scholarships are awarded based on scholastic results, irrespective of financial need.

General Information for All Need-Based Financial Aid Applicants:
In order to be fair to all those who apply for assistance, the College insists on securing appropriate documentation and attestations for all applicants for financial aid. Because of the high demand for financial aid, the College cannot entertain incomplete applications. Be sure your application is complete and accurate. All applications need to address the following:
- The College need-based financial aid program is available only to families with monthly incomes under Rs20,000. Accurate, attested documentation of this income is required in order for the College to consider your application.
- If you have secured admission under the Self-Finance scheme for intermediate students, you are not eligible for financial aid.
- Telephone and electricity bills for the most recent three months must be attached to the application.
- Student performance, conduct and attendance are important considerations in the financial aid decision process. Students whose performance in any of those areas is lacking will lose their eligibility for financial aid.
