Scholarships in Chhattisgarh

The Chhattisgarh State Scholarship Portal manages applications for students belonging to reserved categories within the state. The Tribal and SC Development Department oversees schemes like the Post Matric Scholarship (Chhattisgarh) through the official portal at https://postmatric-scholarship.cg.nic.in. Students must possess valid Chhattisgarh domicile and caste certificates, and institutional nodal officers play a critical role in verifying attendance and academic standing before forwarding applications to the district level.

Scholarships for students in Chhattisgarh

Two kinds of support sit on this page. The Post Matric Scholarship helps reserved-category students continue past Class 10, while the BPL Scholarship Scheme for College Students is aimed at those from below-poverty-line families entering higher education. Both are handled through the state scholarship portal noted above, and both turn on a valid domicile and the right income or caste certificate.

National schemes are linked just below and can be claimed on top of a state award. The window shown is a reminder to start checking the portal, since post-matric dates move with each academic session rather than staying fixed.

National scholarships Chhattisgarh students can also claim

These 10 schemes are funded by the central government rather than by Chhattisgarh, so students here can apply for them too. Open each one to check its eligibility rules, award amount and its own application window. Most run through the National Scholarship Portal.

Documents the Chhattisgarh schemes ask for

Arranging these early is the difference between applying and missing a window, because several are issued by an office on its own timetable. This list covers what the Chhattisgarh schemes above need on top of the documents the national schemes already require, with the scheme that asks for each.
