What is the primary objective of the HDFC Scholarship 2025 under the Parivartan’s ECSS Programme?

The primary objective of the HDFC Scholarship 2025 is to stop students from dropping out by giving merit‑cum‑need financial help during crises and money problems. The HDFC Scholarship 2025 under Parivartan’s ECSS Programme 2025–26 has one clear goal: keep education going for deserving students who are struggling with fees because of low family income or a sudden crisis.

How the objective is achieved

• Merit‑cum‑need support: Students who meet the marks requirement (55% in the previous academic year) and come from families with income ≤ INR 2.5 Lakh per year (₹2,50,000) can receive help.
• Crisis sensitivity: Preference is given to learners facing a recent family or personal crisis (within the last 3 years), which often causes fee defaults and dropouts.
• Wide coverage: Support spans school, UG and PG levels so learners do not lose momentum when they transition between levels.
• Structured benefits: Scholarship amounts vary by course level so the support matches typical fee needs.
• Simple online access: The entire process runs on Buddy4Study, making application easy even for first‑time applicants.

Why this objective matters

For many families, even a small fee gap can end a child’s studies. Medical emergencies, job loss, or natural calamities can quickly push students out of school or college. By targeting both merit and need, HDFC Bank’s Parivartan ECSS Programme ensures that hardworking students are not forced to discontinue. This protects the student’s long‑term earnings, boosts community development, and supports national goals on education, skills, and financial inclusion.
