Education is one of the most powerful tools that can transform lives. However, financial constraints often prevent bright and deserving students from pursuing their dreams.
To bridge this gap, IDFC FIRST Bank has launched its flagship initiative – the IDFC FIRST Bank Engineering Scholarship 2025-29, a program designed to empower talented students from humble backgrounds to achieve their aspirations in the field of engineering.
About the Program
The IDFC FIRST Bank Engineering Scholarship offers financial support of up to ₹1 lakh per year for four years, helping students manage the expenses of their B.Tech or B.E. degree. With this initiative, the bank not only reduces the financial burden on students but also nurtures academic excellence, ensures equal opportunity, and encourages youth to focus on their career goals without financial stress.
The scholarship is an integral part of the bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts for the years 2025-29. By supporting deserving students, IDFC FIRST Bank reaffirms its vision of inclusive growth and contribution to nation-building through education.
