Scholarships & Financial Assistance

Cindrebay offers a unique design education that is industry-ready and aligned with statutory norms. The courses are designed and monitored by both academic and industry professionals, ensuring a seamless transition from academia to the professional world.

Cindrebay has been offering fee concessions to our students for years. This formal scholarship initiative aims to attract exceptional talent to design studies, which are still underrepresented in many regions. We also recognize our social responsibility in supporting students who need financial aid.

Any student scheduled to appear for their 12th-grade exams or those who have already passed with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks can apply.

Application forms will be available on the Cindrebay Scholarship Portal in February/March each year. The entire process, from form submission to selection, will be conducted online, except for the personal interview.

Scholarships are offered as fee waivers for tuition and hostel costs, not direct financial disbursements.

The test will consist of objective-type questions covering subjects such as Basic Mathematics, English, Non-Verbal Reasoning, General Awareness, and Design Aptitude. Mock tests will be provided to familiarise candidates with the platform.

Candidates scoring more than 60% on the test will be invited for a personal interview, portfolio review, and studio test.

Yes, scholarship recipients must maintain a minimum CGPA and meet attendance requirements to continue receiving support throughout their academic program.

We offer scholarships to dependent children of widows as part of our commitment to social responsibility and inclusivity. Widows often face significant financial challenges, and their children may lack access to the same educational opportunities as others. By providing scholarships, we aim to help reduce financial barriers, allowing these children to pursue quality education and realise their potential.
