UPES awards merit scholarships based on its entrance examinations. In 2022–23, scholarships of 20% to 100% of tuition were offered to the top 10% of candidates, and more than half of the roughly 2,000 scholarships went to women.
The Shakti scholarship, launched in 2020, supports women students who score more than 60% in Class 12. UPES reports that more than 6,000 women have received it.
Merit, not income, decides who gets help with fees.
