Masters’ Union, the new-age practitioner-led business school in Gurugram, has launched a unique scholarship programme for young, talented students who are appearing for JEE or IPMAT this year. The scholarship programme aims to identify and reward exceptional talent in the fields of technology and management. The Future Leaders Scholarship invites students to submit their innovative ideas and win scholarships worth INR 50 lakhs.
“At Masters' Union, we believe that investing in the education of the next generation of leaders is crucial, and financial constraints should not prevent anyone from pursuing their academic goals. We hope to support the college education of young, talented students who have the potential to become India's future leaders through this scholarship, irrespective of whether they join the Masters’ Union for Undergraduate Programme or not. The scholarship is open to all eligible students, regardless of their background or financial status. Our aim is to provide equal opportunities for education and help build a brighter future for India," said Swati Ganeti, Director, Undergraduate Programme, Masters' Union.
The Future Leaders Scholarship will be conducted in three stages. In Stage 1, students are required to submit their business idea and record a video essay. The deadline for submitting the business idea is 30 April 2023. Shortlisted students will then receive an invitation to submit their JEE Advanced or IPMAT 2023 results in Stage 2, which will be declared in July. Finally, the top 25 winners will be selected based on their JEE Advanced and IPMAT scores in Stage 3, and they will be awarded scholarships of up to INR 2 lakhs each for their choice of undergraduate programme.
The scholarship offered is applicable for the first year only and is valid for colleges such as Masters' Union, IIM Indore, IIM Rohtak, IITs, BITS, and Delhi University. The scholarship is applicable for B.Com., B.B.A., and B.M.S. courses at Delhi University. The scholarship amount will be directly deposited at the college where the student enrols.

The public and private sectors are coming together to improve the quality of education and ensure access to it for all students, regardless of their socio-economic background. When empowered with knowledge and skills, the youth can become the driving force behind positive change and innovation in India.
