FELLOWSHIPS / SCHOLARSHIPS

Welcome to the Fellowships and Scholarships Section at the University of Hyderabad. Our section is entrusted with the critical responsibility of managing and facilitating fellowships and scholarships awarded to research scholars (Post-Doctoral and Doctoral), as well as students pursuing Integrated Masters’ and Masters’ Programs, by various external funding agencies (Central / State) as well as schemes supported through internal sources.

The Fellowships & Scholarships Section at the University of Hyderabad operates under the statutory control of the Dean, Students’ Welfare. The day-to-day administrative and decision-making responsibilities of the section are handled by the Deputy Dean, Students’ Welfare – 2, while the Section Officer serves as the overall supervisor.

Objectives:

The primary objectives of the Fellowships & Scholarships Section are:

1. Facilitating the application and processing of various fellowships and scholarships offered to scholars & students by government agencies, institutions, and other external funding agencies.
2. Ensuring timely disbursement of fellowship and scholarship payments to eligible students.
3. Maintaining precise records and providing essential documentation for statistical and reporting purposes.
4. Assisting students in accessing scholarships and fellowships to support their academic pursuits.

Fellowships and Scholarships Payment Types:

The Fellowships & Scholarships Section is processing payments for various fellowships and scholarships to scholars and students, utilizing both online and offline modes.

DBT Payment Process (Online):

For online fellowships, the respective funding agencies issue sanction orders to selected scholars and disburse monthly fellowships, including HRA (where applicable), contingency, and other eligible allowances through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode. This disbursement takes place upon confirmation of the scholars’ active PhD program status or on-roll status for the current semester. The Fellowships & Scholarships Section verifies this information on the respective portals of the funding agencies or fellowships. Once confirmed, the funding agencies release funds directly to the bank accounts of the respective fellowship holders.

Upon the completion of their fellowships, scholars are required to submit the necessary documents and certificates (UC, SoE, Final / Completion Report, etc) to the funding agency for the settlement of their fellowships.

Payments of Fellowships through Finance & Accounts of UoH (Offline):

Upon the receipt of sanction order and release of grants from funding agencies and subsequent confirmation of grant receipt by the Finance & Accounts Section, the Fellowships & Scholarships Section initiates the approval process with the respective Competent Authorities. Following approvals, the Section issues Sanction Orders for monthly fellowships, HRA (if applicable), Contingency and other allowances to eligible scholars.

Based on the Sanctioned Order provided by the Fellowships & Scholarships Section, recipients of Offline Fellowships are required to generate a direct payment bill through the FAMOUS Portal. This bill serves as a formal claim for the monthly fellowship, HRA (if applicable), contingency and other eligible allowances.  Fellowship Holders then submit the payment bill to the Fellowships & Scholarships Section for a review of payment details and confirmation of their on-roll status for the ongoing semester. Upon certification and endorsement by the Section, the payment bill is forwarded to the Finance & Accounts Section for further processing and disbursement.

Upon the completion of their fellowships, scholars are required to submit the necessary documents and certificates (UC, SoE, Final / Completion Report, etc) to the funding agency for the settlement of their fellowships.
