The scholarship programme, implemented by the Social Welfare Department, Minority Welfare Department, and Backward Classes Welfare Department, aims to support students from Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), Minority communities, and economically weaker sections. Eligible students can submit their applications through the official UP Scholarship portal.
According to officials, both fresh applicants and renewal candidates are required to complete the online registration, fill in academic and personal details, and upload the necessary documents within the prescribed timeline. The application process also includes verification by educational institutions, followed by scrutiny at the district and state levels.
The UP Scholarship scheme covers a wide range of courses, including school education, undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma, and other professional programmes recognised by the state government. Financial assistance is directly transferred to students’ bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system to ensure transparency.
Authorities have advised applicants to ensure that their Aadhaar details, bank account information, and educational records are accurate to avoid rejection or delays in payment. Students are also encouraged to complete the application process well before the deadline to prevent last-minute technical issues.
The state government has reiterated its commitment to promoting inclusive education and reducing dropout rates by easing the financial burden on deserving students. Further updates regarding application deadlines, correction windows, and scholarship disbursement schedules will be notified on the official portal.
Students seeking detailed guidelines and eligibility criteria can visit the UP Scholarship website or contact their respective educational institutions for assistance.
