Sree Narayana College Thiruvananthapuram Scholarships: Eligibility & Scholarship Amount 2026

Sree Narayana College does not offer many institution-specific scholarships directly from its own funds as a government-aided college affiliated with the University of Kerala. Instead, it primarily facilitates and supports a wide range of state, central, university, and other government scholarship schemes to provide financial aid to eligible students. This aligns with its commitment to accessible education, especially for meritorious, economically weaker, reserved category, and minority students. A dedicated scholarship coordinator and committee handle applications and disbursements.

Key Scholarships and Schemes Available: Students can apply through the college or directly via portals, the Kerala government's e-grants portal, or the University of Kerala channels. Common ones facilitated by the college include:

• Kerala State Higher Education Council Scholarship 
• State Merit Scholarship (SMS): For meritorious students; eligibility often 50%+ marks in qualifying exams, Kerala domicile; amounts around INR 2,500–10,000+ per year.
• Post Matric Scholarship (PMS): For minority communities from economically weaker sections; covers tuition and maintenance.
• Central Sector Scheme of Scholarships for College and University Students: For top performers (80th percentile+ in Class 12); renewable amounts up to INR 10,000–20,000 per year.
• Suvarna Jubilee Merit Scholarship (SJMS): For first-year UG/PG students; specific eligibility like income limits; monthly or annual amounts (INR 200/month in some cases).
• University of Kerala Merit Scholarship: For UG (55%+ in HSE/+2) and PG (First Class in Bachelor's); amounts like INR 1,250–2,500 per year.
• Student Aid Fund Scholarships from Kerala University Union: INR 750–1,000 per annum for degree students.

Recent data from NIRF submissions and reports around 2025 show strong support:

• A very high percentage of students receive financial aid, often through full or partial tuition fee reimbursements.
• For example, in recent years, around 1,472 out of 1,963 undergraduate students 75% and 62 out of 140 postgraduate students, around 44%, received full tuition fee reimbursement or other aid.
• This reflects the college's focus on helping needy students, with many benefiting from the Kerala government's fee waiver/reimbursement schemes for SC/ST/OBC/EWS and other categories.
