Scholarships :
Background :
BREAD Society was disbursing scholarships through funds from NRI Foundations since inception in 1989 till 2003-04. Scholarships were awarded primarily for B.Tech, MBBS and Polytechnic courses during this period in accordance with the wishes of the funding agencies.

A field study conducted by BREAD Society in 2002 has led to opening up of all courses of higher education for assistance under the “BREAD Scholarship” programme in 2003.

Eligibility Criteria :
The Governing Body of BREAD Society revised the eligibility criteria after wide ranging consultations with sponsors, educators, social scientists etc. This resulted in identifying the underprivileged students as those with government and aided high school education background and continuing present education in government or aided colleges. The meritorious from among such students were selected, adopting basically the same norms applicable for admission to higher courses of education. For example, if marks obtained in SSC was the criterion for admission to Intermediate course, then BREAD Scholarships were awarded based on SSC marks. If Rank in EAMCET was the norm used for admission to professional courses, then BREAD Scholarships were awarded based on EAMCET Ranks.

Resource Mobilization :
BREAD realized the need to mobilize resources on its own to be able to achieve its objective of serving the cause of higher education of the bright underprivileged students in a more meaningful manner. It started raising resources on its own from 2004 and has supported over 3500 bright underprivileged students for higher education till 2008-09. These BREAD scholars have been given scholarships from the first year of the course till completion of the course. In addition, they were also supported for pursuing higher courses of study to enable them to reach their maximum potential.

Government’s Initiative :
In 2009-10, Govt. of Andhra Pradesh has waived/reimbursed tuition fee for higher education to all students belonging to SC/ST/BC and Minorities if their annual parental income was below Rs. 1 lakh. In addition, students were awarded monthly maintenance scholarships. Hence BREAD Society discontinued scholarships to them.

From 2010-11, tuition fee waiver/reimbursement and monthly maintenance scholarship program was also extended to Economically Backward Class (EBC) except for Intermediate students. Hence, BREAD Society has discontinued its scholarships to all except EBC Intermediate students and PG (Non-Professional) students of Central Universities and National Level Institutes who have completed graduation in Andhra Pradesh. and for whom this facility was not extended by Govt. From 2012-13, BREAD Society has deferred Scholarship program for two years to focus on Library program.
