Scholarship
Financial Assistance to SC Students Studying in Medical, Engineering and Diploma Course for Purchasing Educational Instrument(FASCSSMEDCPEI)
Overview
About FASCSSMEDCPEI
This is a Gujarat state scholarship run by the Social Justice and Empowerment Department, Government of Gujarat, and delivered through its Director of Scheduled Caste Welfare. It supports Scheduled Caste students in the state who are enrolled in medical, engineering and diploma courses.
The scheme helps with the cost of the instruments and equipment these courses require. The benefit is a one-time cash grant paid at a separate flat rate for each of the three course types, so it works as a supplement toward the initial purchase rather than a recurring stipend.
Eligibility is limited to Scheduled Caste students who are residents of Gujarat and whose family income falls within the ceiling the department fixes. Applications are made online through the Digital Gujarat portal, where students upload a caste certificate, an income certificate, Aadhaar and bank details before the grant is released.
