    Virohan Allied Health Sciences Scholarships 2026: Eligibility, Amount & How to Apply

    Virohan Allied Health Sciences Scholarships 2026: Eligibility, Amount & How to Apply

    Tanvi MunjalUpdated on 13 Aug 2026, 12:12 PM IST

    Healthcare courses aren't cheap, and for a lot of students, that's the one thing standing between them and a career they actually want. Scholarships change that equation. They bring the fee down, take some pressure off the family, and let a student focus on learning instead of worrying about money every semester. Virohan seems to understand this, which is why it has rolled out a dedicated scholarship push for 2026, and it's aimed squarely at getting more students, especially women, into allied health courses like Physiotherapy (BPT), Optometry (B.Optom), Medical Lab Sciences (B.MLS)

    Virohan Scholarship Highlights

    In June 2026, Virohan launched a scheme called the Virohan Women in Healthcare Initiative- basically a Rs 2 crore scholarship pool set aside just for female students who want to get into healthcare education. Here's the gist of it:

    • Every eligible female applicant gets a scholarship, no exceptions, as long as she meets the basic eligibility.

    • The scholarship amount is adjusted upfront against the course fee at the time of admission- so it's not a reimbursement you wait months for.

    • It applies whether a student is joining a 4-5 year bachelor's degree programme or a 1-year university certificate programme through Virohan.

    • The programmes are spread across 20+ university and college partners in India.

    • You don't need a NEET score to apply. Class 12 students from science as well as other academic streams can apply.

    Types of Scholarships Offered by Virohan

    The scholarship isn't a flat one-size-fits-all amount. It works in tiers, based on how a student performed in Class 12. The following are the types of scholarships offered by Virohan:

    Type of Scholarship

    Scholarship Money

    Eligibility Criteria

    Basic scholarship

    Rs 50,000

    Every eligible female applicant

    Merit scholarship (Tier 1)

    Up to Rs 1,00,000

    Class 12 score of 75% or above

    Merit scholarship (Tier 2)

    Up to Rs 2,00,000

    Class 12 score of 90% or above

    So in a way, it's both a need-based and a merit-based scholarship rolled into one. Every eligible female student walks away with at least Rs 50,000 off her fee, and the better her Class 12 marks, the higher that number can climb, all the way up to Rs 2 lakh for top scoreRs

    Eligibility Criteria for Virohan Scholarships

    Before applying, it helps to know exactly where you stand. The criteria are fairly simple and don't involve a complicated entrance test:

    • The applicant must be a female student; this particular scholarship pool is exclusively for women.

    • She should be a Class 12 pass-out or appearing student, from any stream, science, commerce, or arts; it doesn't matter.

    • A NEET score is not required, which opens the door for students who didn't go the medical entrance route.

    • She should be enrolling in a healthcare programme through Virohan, either the 4–5 year bachelor's degree track or the 1-year certificate programme.

    • For the higher merit scholarships, the deciding factor is straightforward: 75 per cent and above in Class 12 gets you into the Rs 1 lakh bracket, and 90 per cent and above gets you into the Rs 2 lakh bracket.

    There's no separate scholarship exam or interview mentioned- the Class 12 marksheet itself does the talking.
