Six 2026 Scholarships Offer Aid to Indian Students
Six scholarship programs are available for students in India.
They help pay for school, college, or professional courses.
Some are for students with lower family incomes.
Several programs require students to have earned at least 60% marks.
Some scholarships are only for girls, engineering students, or children of transport-vehicle drivers.
The awards may cover part or all of tuition fees.
Students must check each program’s age, course, income, and marks requirements.
Applications are made online for most programs, but one requires an offline application.
Six scholarship programs support students from secondary school through postgraduate and professional education.
Awards range from tuition reimbursement and fee waivers to scholarships worth up to ₹60,000.
Eligibility requirements include academic performance, family-income limits, course requirements, and, in some cases, gender or family occupation.
Application deadlines run from year-round submissions to November 30, 2026.
Five programs accept online applications, while the Nirankari Rajmata Scholarship Scheme requires offline applications.
