Numerous government organizations, universities, and private institutions provide BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) students with scholarships. There are merit scholarships, need scholarships, and category-based scholarships (like SC/ST, OBC, economically weaker sections, etc.). National Scholarship Portal under the government sponsors financially deserving candidates, while there are tuition fees concessions or prizes for academic achievements given by universities. Private entities and NGOs too sponsor scholarships for bright students for IT.
Beyond merit in academic results, a number of scholarships consider extracurricular achievements, research inclinations, or peculiar abilities. Apart from company-issued and industry-specific ones such as LIC Golden Jubilee Scholarship, e-Kalyan scholarship, Google's and TCS's, some scholarships come under student loan financing schemes from their respective educational establishments. All it takes to score big in one of these awards is knowledge, persistence, early application, eligibility, and diligence in compiling correct documents.
