National Scholarship (NSP)

Students from Class 1 to PhD — each scholarship has its own rules. Family income limits apply (usually ₹1–8 lakh a year, depending on the scholarship). Apply on scholarships.gov.in while the portal is open.

₹10,000 – ₹50,000/year for studies (about ₹25,000 a year)

Aadhaar Card, Mark Sheets, Income Certificate, Bank Account.

Apply online on the official website: https://web.umang.gov.in/landing/department/national-scholarship-portal.html

Open scholarships.gov.in (National Scholarship Portal) and log in with your registration (OTR) number. Open your application to see its status — submitted, verified by your institute, by the district / state, or sanctioned and paid. Payment details are shown once the scholarship is sanctioned.

Verification pending — your school / college must verify the application first, then the district or state. Ask your institute's nodal officer. Check that your Aadhaar is linked (seeded) to your bank account for DBT: on myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in → "Bank Seeding Status", or ask your bank branch. Renewal not done — continuing students must renew every year before the last date. NSP helpdesk: 0120-6619540, or your institute's scholarship nodal officer.
