India Today
The Yogi government has reopened the application to give thousands of students a second chance to access scholarships. The initiative ensures financial support reaches all eligible students, promoting inclusive education and empowerment.
Thousands of students in Uttar Pradesh who missed out on scholarships for the 2025-26 academic year now have a renewed opportunity to apply.
The state government, under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has decided to reopen the scholarship and fee reimbursement portal, ensuring no eligible student is left out.
The initiative will cover students from the general category, Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and the transgender community.
Officials said the move aims to address technical or procedural challenges that may have prevented students from availing themselves of financial assistance earlier.
The Social Welfare Department will allow students who missed previous deadlines to submit applications and receive benefits.
Last year, a similar drive provided scholarships and fee reimbursements amounting to Rs 81.12 crore to 53,041 students across the state. Of this, Rs 30.65 crore went to 25,395 SC students, while Rs 50.47 crore was granted to 27,646 students from the general category.
