Start with the exact meaning
A scholarship can reduce the two biggest education costs: academic fees and residential fees
Many scholarship searches lead only to a coaching-fee concession. St. Mary’s scholarship consideration can extend to both the academic programme and residential stay for selected students, making it especially relevant to families outside Chikmagalur.
- Eligible students may receive a partial scholarship or, at the highest level, up to a 100% scholarship.
- The highest award can apply to tuition fees and hostel fees, subject to the written scholarship terms.
- Students should compare the final payable amount — not only the advertised scholarship percentage.
Best first step
Share the student’s current academic record and intended pathway. Admissions can then tell you whether the profile should be considered for scholarship assessment.
- Class 10 / latest marks
- Board and school
- Science / Commerce preference
- JEE / NEET goal, if applicable
- Need for hostel / residential support

What can be considered when a scholarship is evaluated?
The exact scholarship framework can vary by admission cycle and programme. A student’s overall academic potential matters more than simply asking for a discount.
01
Academic performance
Recent school or board performance helps establish the student’s consistency and readiness for the next academic level.
02
Scholarship / admission assessment
Where an assessment is applicable, the student’s performance can be used to determine the scholarship band.
03
Competitive potential
For JEE or NEET pathways, subject strength, problem-solving ability and preparation readiness may be considered.
04
Achievements
Relevant Olympiad, competitive, academic or other recognised achievements can strengthen the student profile when applicable.
05
Programme fit
The award must correspond to a programme for which the student is academically eligible and for which seats are available.
06
Residential requirement
Students seeking hostel support should declare it at the scholarship-enquiry stage because residential capacity is finite.

Questions to ask before accepting any scholarship offer
A high scholarship percentage is useful only when the fee base and covered components are clear.
| Ask this | Why it matters | What St. Mary’s should confirm in writing |
|---|---|---|
| What percentage did I receive? | The headline “up to 100%” is the maximum, not every student’s award. | Your awarded scholarship percentage. |
| Which fee heads are covered? | Some institutions apply scholarships only to tuition. | Whether tuition, hostel or both are covered for your award. |
| For how long? | A one-year award and two-year award have different value. | Award duration and any renewal / continuation condition. |
| What remains payable? | Uniform, books, exam fees, transport or deposits may be treated separately. | The final net payable amount and any excluded charges. |
| What keeps the scholarship active? | Some awards depend on attendance, conduct or academic performance. | Any continuation criteria applicable to the student. |
Always make the decision using the final written fee statement. Do not compare institutions only by the largest advertised scholarship percentage.
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 relevant St. Mary’s programme; academic and admission eligibility still apply.
- Scholarship seats and hostel support may be limited by the current admission cycle and residential capacity.
