Scholarships at GITAM (Deemed to be University) are offered on a first-come-first-serve basis. GITAM admissions via scholarships consider up to 20% of the sanctioned intake (except for Architecture & Physiotherapy, Engineering Core Branches, and Humanities branches), while for other programmes it is up to 50%. The institution has mainly five scholarship slabs, presented in the form of 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% and 15% tuition and fee waivers. However, there are scholarship schemes such as Employee Children Scholarships (60%, 40% and 20% waivers), Loyalty Scholarships (10% waiver) and Sports Scholarships, which offer rather an unconventional amount of fee waivers.
