Several scholarships are there for students in BJMC, merit-based awards given by several universities to award the academic performance and encourage high performers. Generally, these awards are given after performance in the entrance exam or on the previous academic record; sometimes, if relevant, other extracurricular achievements based on journalism and media. Along with that, need-based awards are also offered to economically poor students.
Apart from the scholarships offered by a particular university, the government and private organizations provide financial aid to BJMC students. These may include state or national level scholarships for those who deserve them, and also media-related scholarships from organizations like the Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting or the media houses. Scholarships from international institutions can also be explored for students who are planning to study abroad in the field of media and journalism. Students are advised to check their respective institutions and scholarship portals for eligibility and application processes.
