SCHEME OF ‘PRE-MATRIC SCHOLARSHIP’ FOR STUDENTS BELONGING TO THE MINORITY COMMUNITIES.

The Prime Minister’s New 15 Point Programme for the Welfare of Minorities was announced
in June, 2006. It provides that a pre-matric scholarship scheme for meritorious students from
minority communities would be implemented.

ELIGIBILITY 

The scholarship will be awarded for studies in India in a government or private school from

class I to class X, including such residential Government institutes and eligible private

institutes selected and notified in a transparent manner by the State Government and

Union Territory Administration concerned.

Scholarship will be awarded to the students who have secured not less than 50% marks in

the previous final examination and annual income of their parents/guardian from all

sources does not exceed Rs. 1 lakh.

30% of scholarship will be earmarked for girl students. In case sufficient number of eligible

girl students are not available, then the balance earmarked scholarships may be awarded

to eligible boy students.

SELECTION

As the number of scholarships for minorities available in a year is fixed and limited it is

necessary to lay down preference for selection. Inter-se selection weightage is to be given

to poverty rather than marks. In case of the renewal applications, such applications would

be fully exhausted before the new applications are considered.

DURATION

The scholarships will be provided for the entire course. Maintenance allowance will be

given for 10 months only in an academic year.
