Vidyadhan Scholarship expands to J&K, SFPI targets 50 students in first batch
In a significant development, the Bengaluru-based Shibulal Family Philanthropic Initiatives (SFPI) has launched its flagship Vidyadhan Scholarship Programme in J&K, with plans to support 50 meritorious students in its first batch. The move is a major push to improve access to higher education for economically disadvantaged students of Jammu and Kashmir, Addressing a press conference in Srinagar on Tuesday, SFPI Principal Consultant Pankaj Tripathi said the scholarship programme, founded in 1999 by Infosys co-founder S.D. Shibulal and Kumari Shibulal, has now been expanded to Jammu and Kashmir as part of its outreach to newer regions. The programme is operational in 27 states and Union Territories. This year we are launching it in Jammu and Kashmir, Nagaland and, if possible, Chhattisgarh, Tripathi said. The Vidyadhan Scholarship Programme provides long-term financial assistance, mentorship, career guidance and internship opportunities to meritorious students from economically weaker families from Class 11 until graduation. Tripathi said students who have secured at least 75 percent marks or 7.5 CGPA in the Class 10 examination are eligible to apply. For students with disabilities, the eligibility has been relaxed to 65 percent marks or 6.5 CGPA. The annual family income should not exceed Rs 2 lakh, certified by the concerned Tehsildar. Selection will be made through an online aptitude test followed by an interview. He said the scholarship support generally continues for five to seven years, enabling students to complete their higher secondary and graduation without financial constraints. Unlike conventional scholarship schemes, Vidyadhan focuses not only on financial assistance but also on mentoring. In the last 27 years, we have learnt that mentorship is equally important. Students receive career guidance, are connected with mentors and later provided internship opportunities, Tripathi said. He said the programme was opened for applications in Jammu and Kashmir in May and around 45 students have already registered. He said the applications will remain open until July 31, 2026 and the entire application process is free of cost. Tripathi urged students, particularly those studying in government schools and living in remote areas, to apply, saying a dedicated helpline has been established to assist applicants facing difficulties with the online registration process. SFPI has also cautioned students that the application process is completely free and that it has not authorised any individual or agency to facilitate selections. Applicants are required to upload a passport-size photograph, Class 10 marksheet, income certificate and a valid email ID while submitting their online application. Tripathi said SFPI has selected 50 students from Jammu and Kashmir for its inaugural batch and plans to induct 50 to 60 fresh students every year, creating a continuous pipeline of beneficiaries from Class 11 through graduation. He said the initiative aims to enable talented students from financially weaker backgrounds to pursue professional careers in medicine, engineering, nursing, civil services and other fields without financial barriers. Headquartered in Bengaluru, SFPI has supported over 18,260 students across the country since the programme's inception. The initiative is currently operational in 27 states and Union Territories through a transparent IT-enabled platform and is supported by corporate partners including UST, Flex India, FANUC India and Intrepid Finance. Students can submit applications online through the Vidyadhan portal or the SDF Vidya mobile application till July 31, 2026.
