At ARCH College of Design & Business, academic marks are not considered the only indicator of student potential. The institution recognizes that design education can be financially demanding and aims to ensure that talented and deserving students are not excluded due to financial constraints.
ARCH supports students who demonstrate creative talent, academic consistency, financial need, or belong to specific categories requiring additional consideration through a range of scholarships and fee-subsidy schemes. These initiatives are designed to help students focus on learning, portfolio development, and long-term creative careers rather than financial stress.
ARCH merit-based scholarships are designed to reward strong overall academic and studio performance rather than a single high-scoring semester. These scholarships emphasize discipline, creative growth, and long-term commitment.
In simple terms:
ARCH acknowledges that some students face genuine financial challenges. Need-based scholarships are intended to ensure that financial limitations do not restrict access to quality design education for capable students.
How this typically works:
ARCH provides additional consideration for students whose personal or family circumstances may require support to help them continue their studies without undue pressure.
Support may be available for:
Students with certified physical or learning disabilities may apply for special fee concessions. The level of support depends on the nature and percentage of disability, as verified through official documentation.
These scholarships aim to promote equity, accessibility, and an inclusive learning environment, ensuring that design education remains open to all.
Postgraduate students with strong undergraduate performance or demonstrated creative ability may be considered for tuition concessions.
