The main scholarship opportunity at ACDS for MDS is through the merit-based entrance itself, where admissions are strictly based on NEET PG scores, which in essence provides subsidized tuition fees for candidates, particularly from the armed forces backgrounds in the form of wards of army personnel, ex-servicemen, and war widows. Internal scholarships are also provided to the students in the forms of academic excellence and co-curricular activities, which could be termed as "Tata scholarships", though this information has been gleaned from their website.
