Information last verified: 2026-11-01 · Always verify on the official portal before applying.
Scholarship rules, amounts and deadlines change every year — always confirm on the official portal (NSP / state portal) before applying. Money comes only via DBT to your Aadhaar-seeded bank account — never pay any agent.
How scholarships work in Rajasthan
Rajasthan students apply for almost every scholarship through the SSO portal using one login. Besides caste-based post-matric schemes, the state gives merit scholarships, scooters for girls and free coaching.
Rajasthan has moved almost every family-based scheme to Jan Aadhaar. When you apply on SSO, your Jan Aadhaar number brings in your family members, income and bank details, so mistakes in Jan Aadhaar become mistakes in your scholarship form — update it at an e-Mitra kiosk first.
