Five students from each PGP YL cohort will receive full or partial tuition waivers of tuition, accommodation, and other expenses.
The Indian School of Business (ISB) has announced establishment of Bharti Airtel Scholarship, a multi-year commitment by the Bharti Airtel Foundation to support students of Post Graduate Programme in Management for Young Leaders (PGP YL).
Under this initiative, five students – who will be known as Bharti Scholars - from each PGP YL cohort will receive full or partial waivers of tuition, accommodation, and meal expenses through a structured need-cum-merit based scholarship. As per a statement by the foundation, the scholarship programme reflects the Foundation’s commitment to expanding access to quality higher education and empowering deserving talent from diverse backgrounds.
Rakesh Bharti Mittal, Co-Chairman, Bharti Airtel Foundation, said, “Education is the cornerstone of progress and empowerment. Bharti’s longstanding association with the Indian School of Business makes them a natural partner as we expand the scope of our higher education scholarships. Through the Bharti Airtel Scholarship, we take pride in supporting exceptional minds, our ‘Bharti Scholars’, who will become the leaders and changemakers of tomorrow. When talent meets opportunity, extraordinary things happen.”
Professor Madan Pillutla, Dean, ISB, said, “We are deeply grateful to the Bharti Airtel Foundation for their vision and generosity in offering scholarships that will help open doors for deserving PGP YL students to benefit from ISB’s transformative education and leadership ecosystem. This partnership marks a significant step in our shared commitment to fostering inclusive excellence and nurturing the next generation of leaders for India and beyond.”
Through various initiatives, the Foundation has supported over 2,000 scholars (44% of them girls) since its inception, creating quality higher education opportunities for children from underserved communities.
