About the TATA AIG Scholarship
Launched in 2020, the TATA AIG Scholarship Program, an initiative under the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts of TATA AIG, is designed to support girl students from economically and socially disadvantaged backgrounds in India who aspire to pursue higher education in the fields of Engineering and Medicine. The scholarship program is jointly run by TATA AIG General Insurance Company Limited and Avanti Fellows.
