Empowering Access: Delhi's Scholarship Initiative for SC/ST/OBC Students

The Delhi government has opened the doors for SC, ST, and OBC students to apply for a range of scholarships for the academic year 2025-26. The announcement, made on Monday, details both state and centrally sponsored schemes available through the e-district portal.

Among the initiatives, reimbursement of tuition and other fees is available to students in Classes 1 to 12, subject to certain income and academic conditions. Additionally, a merit-based scholarship offers financial support of up to Rs 24,000 per annum for those pursuing professional and technical courses.

Incentives also include the Dr B R Ambedkar State Topper Award and the 'Mukhyamantri Vidyarthi Pratibha Yojana'. Opportunities for higher education abroad are part of this initiative, all aiming to help students from disadvantaged backgrounds succeed academically.
