Scholarship
Maintenance Allowance To Backward Class Students Under Training In Sainik Schools(MABCSTSS)
Overview
About MABCSTSS
Maintenance Allowance to Backward Class Students Under Training in Sainik Schools is a state scholarship run by the Social Justice and Special Assistance Department, Government of Maharashtra. The department funds education support for backward class students across the state, and the Commissionerate of Social Welfare administers these scholarships on the ground.
The scheme pays a cash maintenance allowance to backward class students who are under training at a Sainik school in Maharashtra. It is meant to offset part of the cost of that schooling, so that a family's finances are less likely to stand in a child's way. The benefit goes to individual students rather than to an institution.
Who qualifies is decided by the department: the student must belong to a backward class recognised in Maharashtra and be studying at a Sainik school. The income limits, the allowance figure and the required paperwork are set out in the official scheme rules, and the application runs through the Commissionerate of Social Welfare.
