Oasis Scholarship 2026-27 – FAQs

What is Pre-Matric Component-II under the Oasis Scholarship 2026-27?

It is a scheme for children of parents working in hazardous occupations, such as tanning, flaying or sanitation, including those covered under NAMASTE. It is one of the portal’s seven active schemes for the 2026-27 session, alongside the existing pre-matric and post-matric categories.

Is OTR compulsory for ST students applying for the Oasis Scholarship 2026-27? 

Yes. Under Ministry of Tribal Affairs guidelines, ST applicants must first generate a One-Time Registration on the National Scholarship Portal before applying on OASIS, for both pre-matric and post-matric schemes. Applications submitted without a valid OTR cannot proceed further on the OASIS portal itself.

How is the Oasis Scholarship 2026-27 amount disbursed to selected students?

Payments follow a two-phase model for Pre-Matric and Post-Matric SC students: 40% of the eligible amount is released in the first phase, with the remaining 60% following later. Other schemes may be paid as a single annual sum or in monthly instalments.

Can changes be made after locking the Oasis Scholarship 2026-27 application?

No. Once an application is locked, whether during fresh registration or renewal, no further edits are possible on that form. Applicants should carefully verify every field, particularly bank and caste certificate details, before clicking the final lock and submit option.

How can applicants track their Oasis Scholarship 2026-27 application status?

Students can use the “Track an application” option on the OASIS homepage, select their institution district, and enter the requested application details. The Oasis Scholarship Status guide, linked earlier in this article, walks through the full process in more detail for reference.

What happens if a beneficiary misses the Oasis Scholarship renewal deadline?

Missing the renewal window can mean losing the scholarship benefit for that academic year entirely. Affected students generally have to wait for the next academic cycle and reapply as fresh applicants, subject to meeting the eligibility criteria in force at that later time.
