Student's
Scholarship Programme
Krea’s need-based scholarship programme ensures that underprivileged students have equal access to undergraduate education. Approximately 40% of our cohort receives financial aid covering 10% to over 100% of fees and living expenses. These scholarships allow students from disadvantaged backgrounds to focus on their education without the burden of financial stress, empowering them to become future leaders.
Students have joined Krea from marginalised families with an average income of less than Rs 5 lakhs per annum, including those of daily wage earners, labourers, and domestic workers. You can support the tuition and living expenses of one or more students, or establish a lasting scholarship through an Endowment fund.
