Award of Attendance Scholarship to Girl Students in the Middle Stage of Education

Overview

About AASGSMSE

The Award of Attendance Scholarship to Girl Students in the Middle Stage of Education is a state scholarship of the Union Territory of Puducherry. The Directorate of School Education runs it, and it pays a cash award to girls studying in the middle stage of school, roughly ages 11 to 14.

The scheme's purpose is to raise the enrolment of girls in this age group and to keep them from dropping out before they finish the middle stage. The award is paid as cash, sent directly to the student's bank account through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

It is meant for girl students enrolled in government, government-aided or government-recognised private schools in Puducherry. Eligibility carries conditions the department sets on prior-year attendance and family income, so not every girl in the age band qualifies. Girls from Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe families are supported through separate Puducherry schemes rather than this one.
