Mumbai: Reliance Foundation has selected 5,000 undergraduate students from across India for its prestigious undergraduate scholarship program. The list was released on the occasion of Dhirubhai Ambani's 92nd birth anniversary. Under the 2024-25 scholarship program, each student will receive financial aid of up to ₹2 lakh. Over 1 lakh undergraduate students applied for the scholarship, out of which approximately 70% of the selected students belong to families with an annual income of less than ₹2.5 lakh.

It is worth noting that in December 2022, on the 90th birth anniversary of Reliance’s Founder-Chairman Dhirubhai Ambani, Reliance Foundation Chairperson Nita Ambani announced the goal of awarding 50,000 scholarships over the next 10 years. Since then, 5,100 scholarships have been awarded annually, making this the largest private scholarship program in India.
