Scholarship
Mukhyamantri Vidyarthi Pratibha Yojna(MVPY)
Overview
About MVPY
The Mukhyamantri Vidyarthi Pratibha Yojna is a State scholarship of the Government of NCT of Delhi for school students from Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Other Backward Class families. It is run by the Delhi government's Social Welfare Department and covers students in classes 9 to 12 at government, aided and recognised schools in the capital, helping them meet the everyday expenses of staying in school.
The scheme pays an annual scholarship that rises with the class level: Rs 5,000 for classes 9 and 10, and Rs 10,000 for classes 11 and 12. The money is meant to cover the cost of schooling so that students from lower-income households can continue their studies rather than drop out for want of funds.
You are eligible if you belong to the SC, ST or OBC category, are a resident of Delhi and study in classes 9 to 12 at an eligible school. Selection depends on your marks in the previous class, with a minimum of 50% for classes 9 and 10 and 60% for classes 11 and 12, and on your family's annual income, which is generally capped at Rs 8,00,000 (the income cap is waived if you score 75% or more). Repeaters are not eligible. Applications are made online through the Delhi government's e-District portal.
