Scholarship After 10th in Karnataka: Class 11–12, JEE, NEET, Science & Commerce

Choose beyond cost
Five things that should decide the post-10th programme along with scholarship
01
Academic fit
The student should be suited to the stream and subject combination, not forced into it by a larger scholarship.
02
Teaching system
Look at actual faculty, syllabus depth, doubt support and how average/weak chapters are handled.
03
Testing and feedback
For JEE/NEET, tests should lead to error analysis and targeted improvement, not only rank display.
04
Daily timetable
Travel, classes, self-study, meals, sleep and school requirements must fit into a sustainable day.
05
Residential environment
If hostel is used, study discipline, safety, food, mentoring and parent communication matter.
06
Net two-year cost
Calculate the amount payable after scholarship across both Grade 11 and Grade 12, including hostel if needed.

Important scholarship note
“Up to 100%” means the highest award is merit-based — it is not an automatic fee waiver
St. Mary’s may offer selected eligible students up to 100% scholarship on tuition fees and hostel fees. The final percentage depends on the student’s profile, performance in the applicable scholarship/admission assessment, programme availability and the scholarship rules communicated for the admission cycle.
- A 100% award is reserved for students who meet the highest scholarship criteria; other eligible students may receive partial scholarships.
- The exact amount, fee heads covered, duration and continuation conditions should be confirmed in the written scholarship offer before admission.
- Scholarship consideration does not by itself guarantee admission to the selected post-Class-10 programme; academic and admission eligibility still apply.
- Scholarship seats and hostel support may be limited by the current admission cycle and residential capacity.
