GUWAHATI, July 16, 2025: The Assam Royal Global University (RGU) has introduced two dedicated categories of academic scholarships aimed at supporting the eligible wards and dependents of police personnel from all the northeastern states.
In this regard, Prof. (Dr.) D. N. Singh, Registrar (Academic), RGU stated, “These scholarships include ‘Royal Shaurya’, which provides a 100% scholarship for the families of martyrs and gallantry awardees, and ‘Royal Suraksha’, which offers 50% tuition support for the children of police personnel serving across the eight northeastern states of India. These scholarships are applicable to admissions in programmes that fall under the purview of statutory bodies such as AICTE, COA, PCI, INC, ANMHVC, BCI, or similar regulatory councils.”
Prof. Singh further stated that in addition to these two categories of scholarships, RGU has consistently extended a range of other scholarship schemes to its students since its inception. Among these are the Royal Merit On Admission Scholarship, the Royal Scholarship for students from the Economically Weaker Section (EWS), the Royal Endowment Scholarship, the RGU Sports Scholarship, and monthly scholarships awarded to semester toppers. The Royal Merit On Admission Scholarship provides a full 100% waiver on the annual fee, admission fee, and registration fee, recognizing academic excellence at the time of entry. Similarly, the university offers a complete scholarship to students from the economically weaker sections of society under the Royal Scholarship for EWS.
The Royal Endowment Scholarship is made available across all academic programmes and covers a wide spectrum of student profiles, including those excelling in sports, music, and fine arts; differently-abled students; children and grandchildren of Padma Awardees and recipients of Assam Baibhav, Saurav, and Gaurav honours; wards of single mothers; and students from families with an annual income below ₹8 lakh.
The RGU Sports Scholarship is yet another significant initiative that not only provides financial support to student-athletes but also focuses on their overall development through expert coaching and mentorship. Scholarships under this category are awarded based on the level of participation and achievement in sports recognized by the Indian Olympic Association, with students eligible for 100%, 80%, 70%, 50%, or 40% scholarships, depending on their performance at the international, national, state, or district levels.
Through these inclusive and merit-based scholarship schemes, Assam Royal Global University continues to strengthen its commitment to accessible, equitable, and holistic education.
