What is the Adi
Dravidar Scholarship?

The Adi Dravidar Scholarship is a government-funded financial aid program specifically designed to support students from the Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Scheduled Caste Converted to Christianity communities in Tamil Nadu. This initiative aims to reduce financial barriers and promote higher education by providing scholarships that cover tuition, living expenses, travel, and other academic-related costs.
The scholarship ensures that deserving students from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds can pursue higher studies in India and abroad, especially in top-ranked universities, without financial stress.
It is part of the Tamil Nadu Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department's broader goal to empower students from marginalized communities through quality education. The program has helped thousands of students achieve their academic dreams since its inception, with special provisions for both domestic and international education opportunities.
