University can be a financial stretch, and scholarships can make a real difference — yet many students miss out simply because they do not know what is available or how to apply. Tribhuvan University and its campuses offer various scholarships based on merit, need and other criteria. This guide explains the common types of TU scholarships, who is eligible, how to apply, the documents you need, and tips to improve your chances in 2083.
Common types of TU scholarships
- Merit-based scholarships: awarded for strong academic results.
- Need-based scholarships: for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
- Reserved/quota scholarships: for students from specific groups or regions, as per policy.
- Campus and external scholarships: offered by individual campuses, organisations or programmes.
Availability and criteria vary by campus and programme, so check what applies to you.
Who is eligible
Eligibility depends on the scholarship type. Merit scholarships typically require a strong GPA or result, need-based scholarships require evidence of financial need, and reserved scholarships have specific criteria. There may also be requirements to maintain a certain result to keep a scholarship. Always read the exact eligibility for each scholarship in the official notice, since assumptions can cost you an opportunity.
How to apply
- Watch for scholarship notices from TU, your campus, or relevant bodies — many open around admission or the start of the year.
- Confirm the eligibility and gather the required documents.
- Complete the application form accurately and submit before the deadline.
- Attend any interview or selection step if required.
Because scholarships often run through your campus, follow their guidance alongside official notices.
Documents you may need
- Academic marksheets/transcripts showing your results.
- For need-based: income or financial documents as specified.
- Citizenship/ID, photos, and the completed application form.
- Any recommendation or supporting documents the scholarship requires.
Keep clean copies ready and confirm the exact checklist for each scholarship.
Tips to improve your chances
Maximise your odds by maintaining strong results (merit scholarships reward your GPA), applying early and to multiple scholarships you qualify for, and submitting complete, error-free applications before deadlines. Read each notice carefully so you meet every requirement, and keep your documents organised. Persistence helps — applying to several opportunities increases your chances of securing one.
Where to find scholarship information
Look for scholarship information on official TU and campus notices, your campus administration and scholarship/welfare units, and reputable education portals that aggregate Nepali scholarships. Verify details against the official source before applying. Staying alert to notices — especially around admission time — is the simplest way to never miss a scholarship you qualify for.
