The Uttar Pradesh Social Welfare Department has initiated the 2026-27 scholarship application process to support students from economically weaker sections. The program targets students in Classes 9 through 12 as well as those in higher education, specifically focusing on families with an annual income of 2 lakh rupees or less.

Application timelines vary by student status: renewal applicants for Classes 9 to 12 have a window from August 11 to August 25, 2026, while fresh applicants for Classes 9 and 11 may apply from August 11 until September 21, 2026.
