About Scholarship Eligibility Calculator

Means-cum-merit scholarships score academic performance, financial need and extracurricular contribution. Academic performance usually dominates, but need is the differentiator between candidates of similar academic standing — which is why income documentation matters as much as marks.

Formulas

Eligibility score

Score = Academic % x 0.6 + Need factor x 25 + Extracurricular x 0.75

Need factor

Need factor = max(0, 1 - Family income / Income threshold)

Worked example

With the default values below, Scholarship Eligibility Calculator returns Eligibility score (0-100) of 67.15. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax or fees or charges into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are pure merit scholarships different?

Yes — they ignore income entirely and rank on academic and competitive achievement, so a high income does not disqualify.

What strengthens a marginal application?

Documented leadership, a specific and credible study plan, and strong references. Generic applications fail even with good marks.
