Uttar Pradesh Reopens Post-Matric Scholarship Portal for Students Missing 2025-26 Benefits
The Uttar Pradesh government will reopen its post-matric scholarship portal on September 1, 2026, to assist over 3.16 lakh students who missed benefits due to technical issues during the 2025-26 academic year. The scholarship funds will be directly transferred to eligible students' bank accounts between September 29 and October 2. This initiative covers students from Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, General, and Minority communities across government, aided, and private institutions. Officials emphasize ensuring no eligible student loses financial support due to procedural problems.
