Post-Matric Scholarships are a combined initiative by the central and state governments to provide financial aids to students in their post-matriculation level i.e., from class XI to PhD level. These scholarships work on encouraging the students to pursue higher education and become educated and respectable members of the society and work towards the nation-building. These schemes aim at the meritorious students who belong to the financially backward, reserved or marginalised communities like Schedule Caste (SC), Schedule Tribes (ST), Other Backwards castes (OBC) and the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS). The candidates who want to pursue higher education can apply for this scholarship.
