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 2025.

The process:

Students should make an application through the normal admissions process (an application fee is payable) and indicate their interest in applying for the Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad Scholarship Programme.

*This scholarship programme is open to new students only; those already enrolled at the Academy are not eligible.

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. The final selection includes an interview with the Head of the Academy and the Dean of Admissions. 

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

Eligibility:

• To apply, students must be Indian Nationals resident in India. 
• The scholarships are open to students who are able to demonstrate exceptional academic ability and the potential to benefit from a unique educational programme based on the International Baccalaureate and the Aga Khan Curricular Strands.
• Scholarships are needs-based and will take into account aspects of the financial position of the family at the time of interviews.
• Scholarship awards may not cover all costs, and some scholarships will require the candidate and their family to contribute part of the cost.
