Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies (KUFOS) offers a range of scholarships primarily targeting economically and socially disadvantaged students. Notable scholarships include the E-Grantz, which covers 80-100% of the college fees for eligible students from the OBC category and those with family incomes below INR 120,000. Additional scholarships are available for children of fishermen, SC/ST students, and top-performing students through merit-based scholarships. The total fees for courses at KUFOS vary, with tuition fees ranging approximately from INR 40,000 to INR 60,000 annually for general category students, while SC/ST and economically weaker sections may receive significant fee reductions or waivers.
Other components such as registration, library, and examination fees can range between INR 10,000 to INR 15,000 per year. The university also facilitates ICAR scholarships and fellowships for students securing seats through entrance exams, with stipends and research funds provided for meritorious students. Despite the various financial aids and scholarships, students indicate the need for additional support, particularly with high fees and accommodation costs.
