The ISB said the scholarship will be awarded to one female and a male student on a need-cum-merit basis. The scholarship will be awarded from the class of 2025. Instituted in memory of Vidula Jalan, an alumna of the ISB PGP in Management Class of 2003, the scholarship is a generous gift by the Anshuman and Vidula Jalan Foundation.
The ISB said this is the largest scholarship endowment to ISB to date and will allow for the award of scholarships in perpetuity. Vidula Jalan was the chairperson of Mangalam cements where she received accolades for a leadership style that always put employees first.

This scholarship enables us to honour her memory and put this ethos into practice by helping future leaders, who might otherwise be constrained by financial aspects, to avail world-class management education at ISB."
