About FASCMBS
The Financial Incentive to SC Meritorious Boy Students is a state scholarship run by the Directorate of Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes, Government of Assam. It gives a one-time cash award of ₹5,000 to boys from Scheduled Caste communities in Assam who score 80% or above in the Higher Secondary School Leaving Certificate (HSSLC) examination.
