Annual scholarship program will benefit 125 students over next five years, with yearly financial commitment of INR 3 crore. Every year 5 MBBS, 10 BSc Nursing, and 10 B.Pharm students will benefit

Dr. Moopen’s Medical College in Wayanad, Kerala, has announced launch of Dr. Moopen’s Legacy Scholarship & Fellowships Programme, offering 100% tuition fee waivers to 25 deserving students each year pursuing MBBS, BSc Nursing, and B.Pharm courses.

It has become first private medical college in Kerala to offer full tuition support to meritorious MBBS aspirants, easing financial burden on students from economically challenged backgrounds.

Annual scholarship program will benefit a total of 125 students over next five years, with a yearly financial commitment of INR 3 crore. Each year, this initiative will support 5 MBBS, 10 BSc Nursing, and 10 B.Pharm students, offering full tuition fee waivers for duration of their respective academic programs.

For MBBS scholarships, selection will be entirely merit-based, focusing on students with strong academic track records and top NEET scores. BSc Nursing and B.Pharm scholarships will be awarded based on a combination of academic merit and financial need, allowing students from underprivileged backgrounds an opportunity to pursue a professional career in healthcare.

“This programme is rooted in our commitment to social equity and inclusive education,” said Dr. Azad Moopen, Founder & Chairman of Aster DM Healthcare and Managing Trustee of DMERF. “I have met countless students with the talent and drive to become doctors, nurses, or pharmacists, but they often give up on their dreams due to lack of financial support. Through this scholarship, we want to ensure that no deserving student has to abandon their aspirations because of economic hardship—especially in a field as vital as healthcare.”

Scholarship scheme also aims to strengthen medical and allied health workforce in underserved regions.

25 full scholarships each year: 5 for MBBS, 10 for BSc Nursing, 10 for B.Pharm.
