CG Scholarship Scheme 2026: Important information for students belonging to Scheduled Tribes (ST), Scheduled Castes (SC), and Other Backward Classes (OBC). The registration and renewal process for the academic session 2026 under the State Scholarship Scheme has commenced. Eligible students wishing to avail the scholarship benefits must complete the application process within the stipulated timeframe.
The processes for student registration, renewal, and verification must be completed by September 30, 2026. Consequently, both the students and their respective educational institutions must pay close attention to this deadline.
e-KYC and Aadhaar-linked bank account mandatory for scholarship
To avail the benefits of the State Scholarship Scheme, students are required to possess the necessary certificates and other essential documents. Additionally, e-KYC of the ration card and an Aadhaar-linked bank account have been made mandatory.
Before applying, students should verify that all their documents are accurate and up-to-date. Failure to link the bank account with Aadhaar or a lack of required documents could adversely affect the scholarship processing.
Cases involving change of class to be routed to DEO login first
A specific procedure has been established for renewal cases involving students who have changed their class. Cases requiring renewal following a change in class will first be routed to the District Education Officer’s (DEO) login.
Subsequently, the documents and information will be scrutinized at the appropriate level. Further action on these cases will be taken once the process is complete. Concerned students and educational institutions must adhere to the prescribed procedure in such cases.
Registration, renewal, and verification to be completed by September 30
It is mandatory to complete the registration, renewal, and verification of eligible students under the State Scholarship Scheme by September 30, 2026.
