TATA scholarship for Indian students

Qualifications
To receive the undergraduate scholarship, a recipient must:

• be a citizen of India and have attended secondary school in India;
• be offered admission to Cornell as an undergraduate student;
• be eligible for need-based financial aid.

Preference will be given to qualified students accepted to the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning; the College of Engineering; the Applied Economics and Management major in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences; and majors across colleges in the biological sciences, physical sciences, and other “hard” sciences, as well as the social sciences.
Is my Tata Scholarship guaranteed until I graduate?
As long as you have financial need, we are committed to providing you with Tata Scholarship funding for the number of semesters required for a student to complete an undergraduate degree. With the exception of the five-year program in architecture, which requires ten semesters of full-time enrollment, we will provide up to eight semesters of funding. Funding for additional semesters due to double majors or dual degrees is not available.
Application Process
Undergraduate applicants will be eligible for consideration for the Tata Scholarship if they have completed the admission application and have applied for financial aid. All undergraduate applicants must apply for financial aid by completing the financial aid application process for international students.
