New Delhi: Delhi University (DU) has announced its Financial Support Scheme (FSS) for the academic year 2026-27 for students to manage their education expenses.
The scheme introduced by the Office of the Dean Students’ Welfare (DSW) offers fee waivers to those students who are eligible based on the family income.
FSS is open to full-time bonafide students studying in undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) programmes in any department, institute or centre of DU.
However, students who are enrolled in colleges, BTech programmes, five-year integrated law programmes, the School of Open Learning (SOL) and the Non-Collegiate Women’s Education Board (NCWEB) are not eligible to apply. Students who have an essential repeat (ER) in any previous examination are also excluded from the scheme.
The last date to submit the application online is October 13.
The schedule for submitting printed application forms and supporting documents offline will be announced separately on the DSW website. Students are advised to regularly check the website for further updates.
The scheme is divided in two categories providing different fee waiver benefits for each. Students whose annual family income is up to Rs 4 lakhs, fall under Category I. They will be eligible for 100% fee waiver, up to a maximum of Rs 15,000. Whereas, students whose annual family income is up to Rs 8 lakhs, fall under Category II and they are eligible to a 50% fee waiver up to Rs 10,000.
