The Union government announced that it will award approximately ₹1.09 crore in scholarships for students pursuing post‑matric and higher education during the 2025‑26 fiscal year.
The Ministry of Education has revealed that it will provide roughly ₹1.09 crore in scholarships for students enrolled in post‑matric and higher education courses during the 2025‑26 financial year. The allocation is part of the government's ongoing effort to increase access to tertiary education across the country.
The scholarships are intended for students who have completed their 12th standard and are pursuing undergraduate, postgraduate, or professional courses. Eligibility criteria and application procedures will be announced by the Ministry in the coming weeks.
This move aligns with the government's broader education strategy, which aims to reduce dropout rates and promote higher education among economically disadvantaged groups. By earmarking funds specifically for post‑matric students, the government hopes to bridge the gap between secondary and tertiary education.
Applicants are expected to apply through the official scholarship portal, and the Ministry will oversee the disbursement process to ensure timely and transparent distribution of funds.
