The scholarships are awarded on the basis of outstanding merit and financial need.
Is there a specific subject for which these awards are given?
No. All subjects offered by the participating universities, except for medicine, are considered. The Selection Committees do not have a bias towards/ against any particular subject.
What is the selection procedure?
If you have successfully gained a confirmed offer of admission at your chosen university and have applied for a Felix Scholarship, your chosen university will draw up a shortlist of candidates. The shortlists will, in the case of Indian nationals, be provided to the Selection Committees. Short-listed candidates will be contacted individually for interview. The interviews are held separately for each of the three universities. For non-Indian nationals, your chosen university will carry out the selection process.
