Scholarship and Freeships

At St. Joseph College of Communication, we are committed to ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder the academic journey of our students. To this end, we offer a range of scholarships and freeships to support deserving and talented students.

We have implemented the following measures: 

• Fee waivers for financially disadvantaged students.
• Scholarships for students with outstanding academic performance.
• Scholarships and financial aid for students who excel in fine arts, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities at intercollegiate, university, national, or international levels.
• Collaboration with alumni and non-governmental organizations to establish scholarships, financial aid, and endowments.
• Raising awareness among students about the availability of governmental and non-governmental scholarships and endowments.

Archbishop Mar Joseph Powathil Freeships

Freeships and fee waivers are available for deserving students. Students can apply when these freeships are announced. Fee concessions are provided in genuine cases, and students should submit their requests to the Bursar. The final list of beneficiaries is determined by the principal in consultation with the board of directors. The Student Welfare Officer is available to assist students in this process.
