Reimbursement of College Fees for Scheduled Caste Students in Professional Colleges (Top 20)(RCFSCSPC)
Overview
About RCFSCSPC
This scheme reimburses tuition and examination fees for Scheduled Caste students studying in professional colleges in Puducherry. It is run by the Adi Dravidar Welfare and Scheduled Tribes Welfare Department, the Government of Puducherry body that handles welfare and education support for Scheduled Caste communities across the union territory.
The department describes its mission as improving the socio-economic and educational condition of Scheduled Caste people below the poverty line in Puducherry. Within that remit, this is a merit-linked benefit: it reaches students who have scored high marks in the Higher Secondary Course examination and secured a place among the top twenty ranks, and it is paid as a cash reimbursement of fees rather than an upfront grant.
