Preference will be given to qualified students accepted to the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning; the College of Engineering; the Applied Economics and Management major in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences; and majors across colleges in the biological sciences, physical sciences, and other 'hard' sciences, as well as the social sciences.

Tata Scholarship fund is guaranteed for the number of semesters required for a student to complete an undergraduate degree. With the exception of the five-year program in architecture, which requires ten semesters of full-time enrollment, the fund will provide up to eight semesters of funding. Funding for additional semesters due to double majors or dual degrees is not available.

How to Apply for Tata Scholarship Fund at Cornell University

Undergraduate applicants will be eligible for consideration for the Tata Scholarship if they have completed the admission application and have applied for financial aid. All undergraduate applicants must apply for financial aid by completing the financial aid application process for international students.

International applicants must take the tests required of all applicants. These include SAT or ACT, and SAT Subject Tests (except those applying to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences or the School of Industrial and Labor Relations, where the SAT Subject Tests are not required).

International students for whom English is not the first language are required to submit a TOEFL or IELTS score. The recommended minimum scores are:
TOEFL- Score of 100 (Internet-based exam) and 600 (paper exam)
IELTS - Score of 7

The TOEFL and/or IELTS requirement for international applicants is waived for students achieving a score of at least 670 on the Critical Reading section of the SAT exam OR for students who have studied for at least four years in the U.S. or other nations where English is an official language. You can request a TOEFL waiver.

Please note that Cornell does NOT waive the TOEFL/ IELTS test requirement for students who have attended an English-speaking school in a non-English speaking country.

Application Tips:

Cornell want to review at least 3 years of secondary school records that list subjects you studied and marks received for each subject. State or national tests or other external exams taken should be included also (GCSE, Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education, ICSE, etc.). If there is a provincial, national or other board exam you will take on completing school (A-Levels, Higher Secondary Certificate, I.B., German Abitur, etc.) please ask the school official who completes your secondary school report to include predicted marks.
All transcripts and certificates must be official and must be translated into English. If you have attended more than one school, you should request a separate transcript from each school.
Do not send supporting documents until you have sent your application.
Please do not send materials in plastic covers or multiple envelopes and do not bind application materials together in any way. Lengthy bound documents cannot be included with applications. If you have completed a special project, submit a one-page summary and letter of recommendation from the teacher or other person who supervised the project.
Do not send copies of individual awards or distinctions. These personal accomplishments should be summarized on one page.
Although some colleges and universities require a statement or certification of finances as part of the application, Cornell University does not require this information during the application process. Please do not send this information with your application. If you are admitted to Cornell University, we will then request this information from you.
