There are multiple scholarships for bachelor’s degree students in Journalism and Mass Communication at undergraduate level. These range from merit-based or need-based scholarships, institutional awards, and even government sponsored scholarships. Just like DU Merit Scholarship, Symbiosis University offers Journalism Scholarship, while Christ University awards academics with a merit scholarship. Government also supports students through schemes such as the National Scholarship Portal (NSP) which includes Post-Matric Scholarship for Minority Students and SC/ST Welfare Scholarships. Reliance Foundation and JN Tata Endowment are other examples of journalism funding.
Media corporations and private organizations also put forward sponsorships to help young journalists, such as Reuters Journalism Fellowship and IIMC Scholarships. Some universities also give partial or full scholarships to disadvantaged students. Students must always visit the official pages of universities and scholarship portals to obtain correct information on eligibility and deadlines. Achieving an excellent record in academic as well as a decent activity participation along with showing financial need adds higher chances of being awarded scholarships for BA JMC.
