The GDGU Aspire Scholarship is tied to performance in the Goenka Aptitude Test for Admission (GATA), the university's own entrance-cum-scholarship test conducted once a year in computer-based mode with 75 multiple-choice questions. Students scoring in higher score bands can receive fee waivers of up to 100% on Year 1 tuition, renewable in subsequent years subject to maintaining a minimum CGPA, making GATA performance one of the most significant levers for reducing overall programme cost at GDGU.

GDGU Aspire Scholarship

Class XII Board Merit Scholarship

Students who score well in their Class XII board examinations are eligible for slab-based tuition fee waivers: those scoring between 80% and 84.9% in their main four subjects (English, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology or Mathematics, as applicable) receive a 10% waiver, those scoring 85% to 89.9% receive a 20% waiver, and those scoring 90% to 94.9% receive a 50% waiver on tuition fees, applicable for eligible undergraduate programmes.

GATA / GD Goenka National Entrance & Scholarship Test based waivers (up to 100% on Year 1 tuition)
Class XII Board Merit Scholarship (10-50% tuition waiver based on marks slab)
Continuing scholarships subject to minimum CGPA maintenance in subsequent years
Programme-specific and need-based concessions reviewed by the admissions and scholarship committee

Most GDGU scholarships are merit-cum-need based and are reviewed annually, meaning continuation into the second and later years typically depends on maintaining a minimum academic performance threshold rather than being a one-time award at the time of admission. Applicants should review both the entrance test score slabs and the board-result-based waivers together, since a student may sometimes qualify for the more favourable of the two rather than both being combined. Full eligibility conditions and the current application process are listed on the admission page.

Because scholarship slabs, percentages, and eligible subject combinations can be revised from one academic year to the next, prospective students and parents are strongly advised to verify the latest scholarship notification directly with the university's admissions office or official scholarships page before finalising financial planning for a specific programme, rather than relying solely on a prior year's published slabs.

Scholarship applicants are also encouraged to check whether their chosen programme falls under any additional school-specific fee concession, since some schools, such as Engineering & Sciences and Management, periodically run their own merit-based waivers on top of the university-wide GATA and board-merit scholarships, which can meaningfully change the effective annual cost for high-performing students.
