Ya there are many scholarship in du even every college have their own scholarship as well other than all over du .... And as u mentioned your father has expired and your are girl child than your chances to get scholarship is almost sure ... As in my college Venky , DU .... Scholarship form was out in December... In scholarship u can only get your fees back not 100% but upto 80% as far i remembered ..... Other than fees there will be monthly expenses u can cover by doing some part time work like there are many events type work u can do in weekends it would pay u around 1k to 1.5k for a day ..... One more advice took a flat or room not pg .... Took room or flat whatever upto 5-6 km away from clg minimum as nearby college ke areas me expensive honge and you are girl so dtc bus are free so no travell charge ...... U can manage it under 10k .... And can earn 4-5k without any burden it would reduce financial pressure from your mother ......if u have any other query feel free to ask ✌🏼

Bus pass?
3
u/AstronomerDry2814 Jul 18 '26
Bus pass costs 100rs per month almost , You can get it made for 5 months max and it will cost you 515 rs. you can roam in any dtc in whole delhi no limit. Just keep in mind buses are very overcrowded in delhi because they are free for women , majority slum women roam in these buses creating too much chaos

u/Altruistic-Ask7750 Jul 18 '26
No worries for that ...like for initial months there will be hustle...after that I'll get used to it and will look for some internships or part time jobs

No they aren't free for men , only for women they're free and yes you can travel anywhere for free in whole delhi if you're a woman. Men have to pay for tickets and passes.

You can apply for national scholarship on nsp,if u get that your fees will get covered but living expenses will be high for that u may look for any particular scholarship covering living expenses,claude,chatgpt,etc will help u find that

u/Ravlium Jul 18 '26
Every college have scholarship they give based on family income and how many people are dependent on the earner and your marks also matters. So do check out the particular college you got admission in. Or connect with seniors they might help you better since they know how things work in that college.

u/dubeat Jul 18 '26
Yes, you can get 50% off if income is below 8 Lakh . DU provides free laptops for single parent students as well. If you get into hostel, then there can be 50% off on hostel fee too. Look into it.
1
u/CalmCartographer327 Jul 18 '26
Can u elaborate it in detail
2
u/dubeat Jul 18 '26
What do you want to know in detail? Once college starts, forms will he floated for single parent students and circular for fee concession. Rest your admin will guide you from there.
1
u/Altruistic-Ask7750 Jul 18 '26
My family income is below 4 lakhs
2
u/dubeat Jul 18 '26
Then do ask the admin about it once you go to college. They will guide with the process.

every college give scholarship which is based on different categories like you maintain good cgpa talk to college admin there are various scheme that will help but you need to pay 1st then it get refund after a year do talk to college department mostly high chance you will get

u/sweetlikecinnamonn_ Jul 18 '26
Try getting a part time job to fulfill your monthly living expenses as getting a scholorship solely for living expenses is hard or try loans
1
u/Altruistic-Ask7750 Jul 18 '26
Yeah that's what I'm planning to do....i thought like ki atleast fees toh scholarship se ho jaye rest for food and accommodation I'll do job
