Amidst the perils of the second wave of Covid-19, in a bid to support aspiring public policy talent in the country, Kautilya School of Public policy has set aside about 30 per cent of its cohort revenue as scholarships for their first incoming batch which commences in July 2021. 

In a bid to churn the best policy leaders of tomorrow, Kautilya has created a platform where policy education can be availed by students in the form of need-based scholarships. About 50 per cent of the incoming students will receive scholarships in the brackets of 25 per cent, 50 per cent, and 100 per cent waiver of the total tuition fee for their post-graduate program in Public Policy. 

Among the students who have been awarded this category of scholarships, Pritish Anand has secured a 50 per cent waiver off his fee while Mohammed Habeebullah, Waseem Ahmad, and recently a Kolkata student, Ratnadeep Chakraborty have secured a 100 per cent waiver off their fee each. The selections were done based on their applications, interviews, and their essay submissions.
