Fellowships

At Ahmedabad University, we believe that finances should not stand in the way of pursuing education. 

• All students will receive tuition support of INR 75,000 per year.
• Students needing additional financial assistance can opt for a Fellowship, under which they are required to undertake Teaching Assistantship under a faculty member assisting them in teaching. For students choosing the Fellowship option, the tuition support would increase to INR 1.25 lakh per year, thus reducing their tuition fees by 50% to INR 1.25 lakh per year.
