For BCA students, the government offers quite a few different scholarships, for which the terms and conditions cater to different financial needs and diverse academic achievements. Government scholarships primarily include those presented by the state governments or offered by the MHRD directly. These tend to be strictly merit-based need-based scholarships available to students only if they comply with specific rules and regulations with regard to grades or socioeconomic classes. Some famous government scholarships under this category comprise the National Scholarship Portal (NSP) as well as Central Sector Scheme of Scholarships.
Alongside universities, there are private organizations, educational institutions, and non-profits that offer scholarships for BCA students. Most universities offer merit-based scholarships to award the brilliant and those who are able to outperform in any particular subject. For instance, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, etc., have scholarship programs or provide internship opportunities to BCA students. International scholarships and grants will be granted for studying abroad and may, to a great extent, decrease the burden. It is important to research and apply early because many scholarships have strict deadlines and eligibility requirements.
