  • Under this scholarship scheme, a maximum of two males from the same family [sharing parent(s )or guardians] are eligible for the award. However, this restriction does not apply to females.

For Renewal of Scholarship:-

However, this renewal can be denied if the school's relevant authority recommends discontinuation based on specific regulations governing the scholarship scheme.
  • The award once made will be payable until the student passes Class 10, subject to satisfactory academic performance and attendance of 75% in every academic year. The attendance will be verified through an Aadhaar-based attendance System. 
  • If a scholar is unable to appear in the annual examination owing to illness, the award may be renewed subject to the production of a medical certificate from a prescribed authority and acceptance of the same by the institution.
  • This scholarship opportunity lasts one academic year only. Repeating a class does not extend eligibility for the scholarship in that class beyond the initial year.
