Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad Scholarship Programme

The Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad is launching a unique scholarship programme to attract India’s brightest young minds to join the Academy.

Up to six merit-based scholarships are on offer for outstanding boys and girls who can demonstrate superior academic ability alongside the potential to excel outside of the classroom in one or more of the following areas:

  • Leadership in the service of others
  • Innovation in science, technology, engineering or math
  • Environmental responsibility
  • Performing arts
  • Team sports

Scholarships will be awarded to students from a diversity of socio­economic, cultural, ethnic, linguistic and other backgrounds across India. Based on demonstrated merit and financial need, scholarship awards may cover up to 100% of school fees, including residential fees.

Scholarships are open to new students applying for residential admission in Grade 9 or Grade 11 in July 2023.

  1. An initial assessment to determine suitability for the scholarship programme will take place.
  2. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for a personal interview with the Dean of Admissions. This interview will assess the ability of the student to contribute significantly to the Academy outside of the classroom. 
  3. Final selection includes an interview with the Head of Academy and the Dean of Admissions. 

*The decision of the Academy in awarding these scholarships will be final.
