Before You Apply
Who can apply
- OBC, EBC (Economically Backward Class) and DNT (De-notified, Nomadic and Semi-Nomadic Tribes) students
- Studying at school or college level, as specified by the scheme component
- Family income within the limit stated on the scheme page
What you get
Depends on your class and component. Reports consistently put the school component at up to ₹75,000 a year for Class 9-10 and up to ₹1.25 lakh a year for Class 11-12. Confirm the figure for your component on the scheme page while you apply.
Two components, two different dates
PM YASASVI runs as two separate schemes on the National Scholarship Portal, and they are not on the same clock.
- College component — the one taking fresh applications. The scheme board states "Student Application Open till : 31-10-2026".
- School component — the board shows it open for renewal only, and that window has moved: it read 31-08-2026 on 28 August and now states "Student Application Open till (for Renewal): 30-09-2026". If you are applying for the first time at school level, there is nothing open for you right now.
The date on this page is the college one. Check which component you are applying under before you start.
