SBI, Parivartan, JK Tyre and Nikon Scholarships Open for 2026-27
Some big companies and banks in India want to help students pay for school.
They have created special programs called scholarships that give money to students.
SBI Foundation gives money to smart students from families that do not have much money.
Parivartan gives money to students from very poor families, from first grade all the way to college.
JK Tyre gives money to the daughters of truck drivers so they can study.
Nikon gives money to students who are learning photography.
To get the money, students need good grades and their families cannot earn too much money.
Students must apply online before the last date.
The last dates are in August and September 2026.
If students keep doing well, some scholarships can continue the next year.
