Hi, Yes, of course. LPU believes that money should not be a hindrance to quality education. LPU offers different types of scholarships on the basis of marks in either of the last two qualifications, LPU NEST Sports, Defence, need-based scholarship, cultural, EWS, social service, and many more. If you are eligible for more than one scholarship, only one scholarship you will get is the maximum one. The best thing is if you get the scholarship, the tuition fees after getting a scholarship will be applicable every semester except a few types of scholarships. Thanks.
