RBL Bank's Shiksha Scholarship Programme Will Support EWS Students

RBL Bank on Tuesday said that it has launched RBL Bank Shiksha Scholarship 2024-25, an initiative aimed at providing financial support and mentorship to students from economically weaker sections pursuing full-time undergraduate courses across India.

The Shiksha Scholarship Programme addresses critical barriers to education by offering financial assistance of up to Rs 20,000 per student per year, or the actual course fees, whichever is lower. Over a three-year undergraduate programme, eligible students can receive up to Rs 60,000, based on their annual performance evaluation.

The programme will empower up to 300 students over three years. In addition to financial assistance, the scholarship includes a structured mentoring program where RBL Bank employees and external mentors will guide students and offer professional insights to support their growth and future career readiness. The scholarship amounts will be disbursed directly towards tuition fees

R. Subramaniakumar, Managing Director and CEO, RBL Bank, said, “At RBL Bank, we believe in the power of education to transform lives and create a brighter future for individuals and communities. The RBL Bank Shiksha Scholarship program is a step forward in supporting deserving students across India in their educational journey. By providing financial assistance and mentorship, we aim to empower the next generation of leaders who will contribute to the country’s growth and development. We are proud to play a role in shaping the future of education in India and are committed to making a meaningful impact through this initiative.”
