Bottom Financial Quintile Student Support
The University complies with the Government of India’s Reservation Laws, and seats for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes. As the University is located across regional and rural areas of India, the target setting is a critical step toward promoting inclusivity and socioeconomic diversity in higher education. Centurion University does the following to accomplish this:
- Financial Aid and Scholarships: The University has developed a robust financial aid system by itself and has also linked with various Government and Non-Government organisations for scholarships and grants to meet the specific needs of economically disadvantaged students.
- Community Engagement: Partnering with community organisations to reach potential students in low-income areas.
- Technology Access: Ensuring students have access to necessary technology, such as laptops and internet connections.
- Online Courses: Offering online courses and degree programs can provide flexibility for students who need to work or have other commitments.
- Application Fee Waivers: The University charges no tuition fee for low-income students. This encourages them to apply and explore their educational options.
- Support Services: The University offers comprehensive support services such as tutoring, counselling, and mentorship programs to help students from diverse backgrounds succeed academically and personally.
By implementing these strategies, Centurion University not only increases access to higher education for students from the lowest income brackets but also contributes to reducing educational inequality, fostering diversity, and promoting social mobility in India.
Support to Students from Low or Lower-Middle-Income Countries
Centurion University treats national and international students equally. The fee structure for international students is on par with that of domestic students for all of its programs. There are students from several low- and middle-income countries, such as Afghanistan, Nepal, Bangladesh Sudan, and Uganda, studying at the university. One of the schools, School of Maritime Studies has around 300 students from Nigeria as of 2023. The students are studying Bachelor of Marine Engineering and Nautical Sciences. The courses are carefully designed to build up the capacity of the country as Nigeria has a long coastline but limited capacity to train and skill its human resources. These categories of students are given 100% scholarship / financial assistance to cover their academic, hostel and mess fees. They have been given the scope to access all the academic and non-academic facilities inside the campus, such as the digital library and waivers in registration in different cultural, technical, and sports clubs of the University. They are also covered with medical insurance which is applicable when admitted to the hospital due to any illness requiring hospitalisation. They are also provided with medicines (free of cost) when they fall sick with common cough, cold, fever, etc. from the in-campus pharmacy store.
