Reliance Foundation has selected 5,100 undergraduate and postgraduate students nationwide for its 2025-26 scholarships, including 127 students from Odisha. This initiative, part of a commitment to award 50,000 scholarships over 10 years, supports meritorious students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. Selected scholars receive financial aid up to Rs 2 lakh for undergraduates and Rs 6 lakh for postgraduates, along with mentoring and leadership development. The program emphasizes a merit-cum-means approach, with a significant number of recipients from low-income households and strong representation of women and students with disabilities.
