The getters/setters from the kendo comboBox are part of the kendoComboBox 'class'.

You can use this.value() or this.text() depending on what you need.

$("#_FeeScheme_Input").kendoComboBox({
    minLength: 1,
    filter: 'contains',
    dataTextField: "FeeSchemeDescription",
    dataValueField: "FeeSchemeID",        
    dataSource: {
        type: "json",
        serverFiltering: false,
        transport: {
            read: "/Qualification/GetAllFeeScheme_JSON"
        },
    },
    change: function(){
       alert("value " + this.value());
    }
});
