Uttar Pradesh Rajarshi Tandon Open University, Prayagraj Scholarship 2026 Financial Aid, Merit & Category Scholarships

Beyond its already low programme fees, UPRTOU's official Admission Information Brochure lists several categories of learners eligible for full fee waivers in one programme of their choice - dependents of Indian Army and para-military soldiers martyred in the line of duty, Anganwadi Karyakartris admitted to the Child Development and Nutrition Education programme, transgender candidates, and convicted persons lodged in jail. Additionally, any learner admitted in the current session who opts out of receiving printed Self-Learning Material is entitled to a 15% rebate on tuition fees, subject to a written request submitted within one week of admission. The university's website also periodically carries notices on Government of India schemes such as the National Scholarship Portal's Pre-Matric, Post-Matric and Top-Class scholarships, as well as state-level schemes including an Azim Premji Scholarship helpline for women students; eligible learners should verify current eligibility and application windows directly with the Admission Section.
