Post Matric Scholarship to OBC Students - Maharashtra

The State Government of Maharashtra provides financial assistance to students belonging to Other Backward Classes (OBC) pursuing post-matriculation courses. Managed via the MahaDBT portal, this scheme aims to reduce the dropout rate of students from economically weaker backgrounds by covering their educational expenses. Eligible students receive a reimbursement of tuition fees, exam fees, and a maintenance allowance depending on their course of study and whether they are day scholars or hostellers. The scholarship is applicable for recognized government, aided, and non-aided private professional institutions. Applicants must be permanent residents of Maharashtra and maintain a specific attendance record. The selection process is merit-based according to government guidelines, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder higher education goals for the backward classes.
