Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham’s 2024 support schemes for low- and lower-middle-income students directly advance several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. By providing full funding for tuition, accommodation, stipends, and research grants through the E4Life PhD Fellowship, the university addresses SDG 1: No Poverty by eliminating financial barriers to higher education. Comprehensive healthcare and mental health services, including 24/7 counseling, fulfill SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being by ensuring student wellness. Academic bridge courses, remedial classes, and personalized mentoring bolster SDG 4: Quality Education, improving retention and on-time graduation for first-generation and financially disadvantaged learners. The Rekha Eipe Memorial Scholarship’s full coverage of tuition and residential costs for female MSW students promotes SDG 5: Gender Equality, while equitable access to scholarships, stipends, and essential services underpins SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities, ensuring that socioeconomic background does not impede educational success.
