Overview

About GSAE

The Gayathri Scheme for Academic Excellence is a cash award run by the Andhra Pradesh Brahmin Welfare Corporation, a Government of Andhra Pradesh undertaking that supports the education and welfare of the Brahmin community in the state. It recognises the topper of a course at a recognised school, college or institute across Andhra Pradesh.

The prize is a one-time cash award for the student who tops the course, paid at the end of SSC, Intermediate or an equivalent such as Polytechnic or ITI, graduation, or a professional course. It marks academic standing at the end of a stage rather than covering fees across a full programme.

Eligibility is limited to students from the Brahmin community whose parents reside in Andhra Pradesh, and applicants must not have drawn money from another government scheme for the same purpose. Read the exact community, domicile and rank conditions on the official page before you apply.
