REVA University has taken the initiative to waive 100% tuition fees for the academic year 2021-22 for students who lost parents or breadwinners in the family to COVID-19. It also extended this initiative to students who apply to any of its 50+ UG courses this academic year. In a release, P. Shyama Raju, Chancellor of REVA University, stated, “The university was founded with a mission to give back to society and empower youth and this initiative is aligned with that. The pandemic has posed numerous challenges to educators and the student community, but it should not take away the right and opportunity of every child to be educated. Our fee waiver aims to mitigate the situation.”
