Bennett University Scholarships 2026-27: Eligibility, Amount, Merit Criteria and How to Apply
Last updated: October 2026
Bennett University in Greater Noida offers scholarships and tuition-fee concessions to eligible students across selected undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. The benefit can depend on academic marks, entrance-test scores, the programme selected and the student's personal circumstances.
The main route is a merit-based admission scholarship linked to programme-specific Class XII marks and/or entrance scores such as JEE Main, CUET, SAT, IB, CAT or design tests. Merit brackets reach up to 100% of tuition in some programmes. Bennett also offers sibling, single girl child, alumni, defence personnel and sports concessions, and the Chancellor's Scholarship Fund, The Vineet Jain Scholarship.

How Bennett University Scholarships Work
Bennett's scholarship system follows a few clear principles that apply across programmes:
- Merit scholarships are linked to qualifying-exam marks and/or approved entrance-test scores.
- Brackets are programme-specific, so the same marks can lead to different scholarship percentages in different courses.
- Scholarships are usually applied as a tuition-fee concession, subject to university policy.
- Scholarships are limited and generally allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
- If you qualify for more than one, the highest-value benefit is generally awarded.
- Continuation in later years can depend on maintaining a programme-specific minimum CGPA.

Is a Bennett University Scholarship Worth It?
A scholarship can reduce tuition and make a programme more manageable, especially when the benefit continues beyond the first year. Compare the written scholarship offer with the complete fee structure, including registration, hostel, meals, transport and other charges. Before paying, ask these questions:
- Which scholarship am I eligible for under my exact programme and admission year?
- Is the scholarship available for this intake, or has the allocation already closed?
- What is the exact percentage and rupee value of the scholarship?
- Does it apply only to first-year tuition or throughout the programme?
- What CGPA, attendance, conduct or no-backlog conditions apply for renewal?
- Can I combine a merit award with a sibling, single girl child, alumni, defence or sports concession?
- What documents are required, and by what date?
- Will the scholarship and its renewal conditions be confirmed in writing in my admission offer?
