Anant National University Opens Applications for Sustainable Design Scholarships

Anant National University has announced merit and need-based scholarships for sustainable design. The deadline for the prestigious Anant Fellowship is August 10, 2025.

Anant National University (AnantU), India's first DesignX university, has announced a series of scholarships and financial aid programs to support deserving students for the 2025-26 academic year. The scholarships are specifically targeted at applicants with a passion for sustainable design and creating a better built environment. The university's initiative is aimed at making quality design education more accessible by ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder a student's potential.

The scholarships are available for various programs, including the Bachelor of Design (B.Des) and the highly sought-after Anant Fellowship for the Built Environment. The university offers both need-based financial aid and merit-based scholarships. The need-based aid can cover a significant portion of tuition fees, and in some cases, up to a full waiver, based on the family's financial situation. Merit scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate exceptional academic performance, often based on their scores in the university’s entrance exam (ADEPT) or national tests like UCEED.

Anant Fellowship: A Key Opportunity

For aspiring leaders in sustainable design, the Anant Fellowship is a standout opportunity. This one-year postgraduate diploma program, with a theme of "Sustainability and Built Environment," is currently accepting applications. The final deadline for applying for the fellowship is August 10, 2025.

The fellowship is a prestigious program that prepares individuals to become "solutionaries" and is open to graduates from any discipline. The scholarship for this program can be substantial, with the fellowship itself valued at up to ₹7,50,000, which covers tuition and accommodation. The selection process for this fellowship is rigorous and includes an application review, a telephonic interview, and a final panel interview.

Application and Admission Details

Admissions for AnantU’s undergraduate and postgraduate programs are currently open. Candidates interested in applying for a B.Des program must have passed their Class 12 with a minimum of 50% aggregate and must have cleared the Anant Design Entrance and Proficiency Test (ADEPT) or UCEED.

The university encourages all applicants to highlight their commitment to sustainability and their passion for creating solutions for the built environment, as these are key factors in the scholarship and admission selection process. Aspirants should review the eligibility criteria and application deadlines for their specific program of interest on the official university website.
