PM Young Achievers Scholarship Award Scheme for Vibrant India (PM YASASVI)

PM YASASVI is a comprehensive central sector scholarship scheme implemented by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment for students belonging to Other Backward Classes (OBC), Economically Backward Classes (EBC), and De-notified, Nomadic and Semi-Nomadic Tribes (DNT). The scheme aims to provide financial assistance to meritorious students at two levels: the Pre-Matric at school level (Class 9-10) and the Post-Matric level for higher education. Specifically for top-class school education, the scheme covers tuition fees and other educational expenses for students studying in identified schools across the country. Selection is typically based on merit determined by the YASASVI Entrance Test (YET) or academic performance depending on the specific component. The initiative ensures that students from marginalized sections can pursue quality education without financial constraints.
