National Scholarship Portal (NSP) पर आवेदन करने के लिए छात्र को संबंधित Scholarship Scheme की पात्रता पूरी करनी होती है। अलग-अलग योजनाओं की शर्तें अलग हो सकती हैं।
ऑनलाइन आवेदन करते समय निम्न दस्तावेज़ तैयार रखें।
| Scheme | Eligible Students |
|---|---|
| Pre-Matric Scholarship | Class 1–10 Students |
| Post-Matric Scholarship | Class 11, 12, UG & PG |
| Merit-cum-Means Scholarship | Professional & Technical Courses |
| Central Sector Scholarship | Meritorious Students |
| Top Class Education Scholarship | Eligible Reserved Category Students |
| Ministry Specific Scholarship Schemes | As Per Eligibility |
NSP स्वयं कोई निश्चित राशि निर्धारित नहीं करता। Scholarship की राशि संबंधित Scheme, Course, Category और Ministry के अनुसार अलग-अलग होती है।
कुछ योजनाओं में केवल Maintenance Allowance मिलता है, जबकि कुछ में Tuition Fee, Hostel Fee तथा अन्य Academic Expenses भी शामिल हो सकते हैं।
One Time Registration (OTR) NSP Portal का पहला और सबसे महत्वपूर्ण चरण है। प्रत्येक छात्र को Scholarship आवेदन करने से पहले केवल एक बार OTR करना होता है। OTR सफल होने पर एक यूनिक OTR Number मिलता है, जिसका उपयोग भविष्य के सभी NSP आवेदन में किया जाता है.
Application जमा करने के बाद छात्र Portal पर Login करके अपने आवेदन की स्थिति देख सकते हैं।
यदि आपकी Scholarship Scheme Renewal की अनुमति देती है, तो अगले Academic Year में नया आवेदन करने के बजाय Renewal विकल्प का उपयोग करें।
