Madras Medical College Chennai Scholarships: Eligibility & Scholarship Amount 2026

At Madras Medical College, Madras, financial support comes mainly through Tamil Nadu government scholarships and central/state schemes, not 100% fee waivers from the college itself.

Scholarship and financial support 

• Tuition fees are already low, around INR 3,950–INR 18,073 per year, with SC/ST often paying as low as about INR 1,500 per year, so the main extra help is fee reimbursement/scholarship money, not full‑tuition‑free seats.

• The college benefits from TN‑government post‑matric scholarship schemes for BC, MBC, SC, ST, and minority / first‑generation students, with typical amounts around INR 10,000–INR 14,000 per semester, plus special top‑rank awards like Anna Award / Chief Minister’s Award, INR 3,000–INR 10,000 per year. 

• There are also college‑linked or alumni awards of roughly INR 5,000–INR 10,000 per year, but they are partial‑fee support and limited‑seat.

• For bigger‑ticket support, students use bank education loans and sometimes apply to NGO / trust‑based scholarships; the college does not provide direct loan facilities but helps with documents.
