The Indian School of Business (ISB) has collaborated with the Government to offer a 50% tuition fee waiver to armed forces veterans or serving personnel aiming to transition into civilian life. The waiver will apply across its postgraduate and advanced management programmes and will benefit 22 veterans each academic year.

Vijoy Kumar Singh, IAS, Secretary, Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare, Government of India, said, “We extend our sincere gratitude to the Indian School of Business for offering a 50 percent fee waiver in recognition of the services of Armed Forces personnel.” 

He added, “Most of our Armed Forces personnel retire at a younger age and are most disciplined and filled with zeal and vigour to serve the country. We are hopeful this initiative will provide a valuable opportunity for our veterans and soon-to-retire armed force personnel to pursue world-class education at ISB and play a leadership role in making a ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047.”
