UP Scholarship 2026-27: General Category Students

UP Scholarship 2026-27 for General Category Students

The Uttar Pradesh Social Welfare Department has announced the application dates for the UP Scholarship 2026-27, which includes Pre-Matric, Post-Matric Intermediate, and Dashmottar scholarships. This is a crucial opportunity for students from the General Category in Uttar Pradesh to receive financial assistance for their education.

For students in Classes 9 to 12, both fresh and renewal applications opened on August 11, 2026. Students pursuing courses beyond Class 12 (Dashmottar scholarships) can submit fresh applications from September 15 to October 31, 2026, while renewal applications for this group are open from September 15 to October 15, 2026. It is mandatory for all applicants to complete a One Time Registration (OTR) for the 2026-27 session on the official portal.

The scholarship aims to provide admissible maintenance allowance and reimbursement of approved non-refundable fees. The amount varies significantly based on factors like student category, course, and whether the student is a day scholar or hosteller. While the financial support can range from ₹2,500 to ₹13,500, it's important to understand that this scheme is designed to help reduce education costs and may not cover the entire fee, especially for private institutions. Students should check their eligibility carefully, particularly the income criteria, to ensure their application is successful.
