Scholarship
Free Books Scheme for Scheduled Caste Students Pursuing Higher Education(FBSSCSPHE)
Overview
About FBSSCSPHE
The Free Books Scheme for Scheduled Caste Students Pursuing Higher Education is a state scholarship run by the Department of Higher Education, Government of Haryana. It gives a cash grant to Scheduled Caste students studying in the state's government colleges to help them meet the cost of their course books.
The stated purpose is to draw more students from Scheduled Caste families into higher education by easing one recurring expense of college study, the price of textbooks. The benefit is paid as cash, and the amount is transferred directly to the student's bank account once the college verifies the student's details.
The scheme is open to Scheduled Caste students who are domiciled in Haryana and enrolled in a government college within the state, not a private one.
