On March 18, 2026, the Uttar Pradesh Social Welfare Department will release the second installment of the UP Scholarship for the 2025–26 academic session. This initiative aims to provide financial assistance to students from General, OBC, SC/ST, and minority communities, helping them continue their education and manage academic expenses.

To be eligible for the scholarship, Pre-Matric students must have a family income below ₹1 lakh annually, while Post-Matric students must not exceed ₹2 lakh per year. For SC/ST students, the income limit is set at ₹2.5 lakh annually.

The scholarship amount will be transferred directly to students’ bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system. To facilitate this process, students are required to ensure that their bank accounts are linked with Aadhaar.

Students can check their application status on the official website, scholarship.up.gov.in. By entering their registration number and date of birth, they can track the progress of their application.

If the application status shows ‘Pending at District Scholarship Committee’, it indicates that verification is still ongoing. Conversely, a status of ‘Rejected’ suggests that there may be incorrect details or missing documents in the application.

Once the scholarship amount has been successfully transferred, the application status will display ‘Disbursed’. This clarity is crucial for students awaiting financial support.

The UP Scholarship Scheme is significant as it provides essential financial support to students, enabling them to pursue their educational goals without the burden of financial constraints.

As the release date approaches, students are encouraged to prepare their documents and ensure compliance with the eligibility criteria to avoid any delays in receiving their funds.

Overall, the UP Scholarship continues to play a vital role in promoting education among various communities in Uttar Pradesh, reflecting the government’s commitment to supporting students in their academic endeavors.
