Before you search

Get your documents ready first.

Most applications ask for the same handful of documents. Scanning them once, in the formats portals accept, saves time on every application.

Exact requirements vary by scheme, so always check the list on the official notice.

  • Mark sheets and certificates
  • Income certificate, if applying on need
  • Category certificate, where applicable
  • Aadhaar and bank account details
  • Proof of admission or a bonafide certificate

Step by step

Find and apply in five steps.

  1. List what you qualify for

    Note your marks, family income, category, state and course — these decide which schemes are open to you.

  2. Search the official portals

    Start with the National Scholarship Portal and your state's portal, then your college.

  3. Prepare documents once

    Scan certificates, mark sheets and ID in the formats the portals accept.

  4. Apply before the deadline

    Applications usually open once a year. Put the dates in your calendar and submit early.

  5. Stay eligible

    Many scholarships need renewal and a minimum score. Keep your marks up and renew on time.

Merit scholarships start with marks.
