Financial assistance to Meritorious Scheduled Tribe Students who have Passed First Division from Board and University(FAMSSTPFDBU)
Overview
About FAMSSTPFDBU
The Financial Assistance to Meritorious Scheduled Tribe Students Who Have Passed First Division from Board and University is a state scheme of the Higher Education Department, Government of Rajasthan. It is implemented by the Commissionerate of College Education at Jaipur and has run from the 2023–24 financial year. The scheme gives a one-time cash incentive to Scheduled Tribe students in Rajasthan who clear their board and university examinations in first division.
Its aim is to encourage meritorious ST students who are pursuing regular college courses to keep reaching first division. The incentive is up to ₹3,500, paid at ₹350 a month for as long as ten months and transferred directly to the student's own bank account, so the support reaches the individual student rather than the institution.
It is meant for Scheduled Tribe students who are natives of Rajasthan, who passed the 12th standard in first division and who continue as regular students in a government college with no break in their studies after the board examination. The scheme also asks that the student's parents, guardian or spouse are not income-tax payers, so not every meritorious ST student will qualify. Applications are made online through an E-Mitra centre, where the applicant completes biometric verification, and the full list of conditions and required documents is set out alongside this summary.
