Noida International University (NIU) has awarded scholarships to 915 girl students for the 2025–2026 academic session. The scholarships have been given on the basis of merit, Common University Entrance Test (CUET) scores, and other eligibility criteria across different courses.

According to an official press release, the initiative aims to support female students, including single girl children, so they can continue higher education without financial hurdles.

At NIU, we nurture that power, giving every young woman the tools to dream fearlessly, learn deeply, and lead with purpose,” Tanya Singh further said.
