₹60,000 for Girl Students: Aditya Birla Scholarship Closes October 30

Girl students from Class 9 to post-graduation can get up to Rs 60,000 for one year under the Aditya Birla Capital Scholarship Program 2026-27. The last date to apply is October 30, 2026, which leaves only 12 days. Applications are online through the Buddy4Study portal.

Run by the Aditya Birla Capital Foundation, this scholarship is only for girl students. It is designed for families where money is tight, so that good students do not have to drop out because of fees. If you scored at least 60% in your last class and your family income is under Rs 6 lakh a year, you should check the details below.

Who can apply: girls only, 60% marks, income under ₹6 lakh

The rules are simple and strict. Only girl students can apply. You must be currently enrolled in Class 9 to 12, a Polytechnic Diploma, an undergraduate course or a postgraduate course at a recognised government school, college or institution in India.

Your marks in the most recent academic year must be 60% or higher. Your family’s total annual income from all sources must not cross Rs 6 lakh. One important exception: children of employees of Aditya Birla Capital, its subsidiary or joint venture businesses, and Buddy4Study cannot apply.

How much money will you get? ₹25,000 to ₹60,000 for one year

The amount depends on your current level of study. Students in Class 9 to 12 and Polytechnic Diploma courses get Rs 25,000 for one year. Undergraduate students can get up to Rs 45,000. Postgraduate students get the highest amount, Rs 60,000 for one year.

The money is not only for tuition fees. It also covers admission charges, exam fees and prescribed books. Living expenses are included too, such as hostel and mess charges, uniforms and other study needs.

The foundation says the support is meant to cut the money pressure on families, so bright girls can finish their studies with confidence and build a better future.

The documents you will need ready

Keep these papers ready before you start the online form. The exact list may vary slightly, but applications like this usually ask for:

• A passport-size photo and a valid ID proof (Aadhaar is best)
• Marksheets of the last qualifying exam showing 60% or more
• Proof of admission in the current class or course
• Family income certificate or income proof showing income below Rs 6 lakh
• Bank account details of the student for the scholarship transfer

Scan everything clearly. Blurry uploads are one of the most common reasons forms get rejected or sent back for correction. With only 12 days left, you do not want to lose days fixing documents.

How to apply before October 30: step by step

Applications opened on September 22, 2026, and the window closes on October 30, 2026. Apply early instead of waiting for the last day, because the portal can slow down near the deadline. Follow these steps:

• Go to the official Buddy4Study page for the Aditya Birla Capital Scholarship
• Register with your email or mobile number and log in to the portal
• Fill in your personal, family and academic details carefully
• Upload the required documents in clear, readable scans
• Read the full form once before submitting, accept the terms and submit
• Save your application number or acknowledgement for future tracking

If you are already hunting for money help, do not stop at one form. The Tata Capital Pankh Scholarship also runs on Buddy4Study and closes even earlier, on October 26, so check whether you qualify for that too. Another option for girls is the Shiksha Shakti scholarship, which pays Rs 20,000 a year to first-year girl students in courses like BA, BCom and BSc, with October 31 as its last date.
