UP post-matric scholarship: online applications for 2026-27 close on 13 November

LUCKNOW: Students seeking Uttar Pradesh's post-matric scholarship and fee reimbursement for the 2026-27 session have until 13 November to submit their online applications, according to the state's revised timetable as shared by district welfare officers.

The date applies to both fresh and renewal applications. It concerns Varanasi students in courses beyond Class 12, such as degree and other post-matric programmes; the scheme's timetable does not cover students of Classes 9 to 12. For families that depend on the scholarship to meet college fees, missing the online step means losing the benefit for the year.

How to apply: complete and submit the form on the state scholarship portal by 13 November, and make sure your institution has what it needs to verify it. Institutions have to forward renewal applications by 15 November and fresh applications by 17 November, so students should not leave the online step to the final day and should confirm with their college office that the form has been received.

District welfare officers have asked all post-matric institutions and students to finish the application and verification steps within the timetable, so that eligible students receive the scholarship and fee reimbursement on time.

Details are from the state's revised timetable as shared by district welfare officers and reported on 10 November.
