Scholarship to Divyang Students (Class 1 to 8)(SDSC18)
Overview
About SDSC18
The Scholarship to Divyang Students (Class 1 to 8) is a pre-matric scholarship run by the Social Welfare Department, Government of Uttarakhand. It sits within the department's wider set of scholarship programmes for Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, OBC and Divyang students, which are administered through the National Scholarship Portal.
The scheme pays a small annual cash amount to disabled students at the primary and upper-primary stage. Its purpose is to help families meet the routine costs of keeping a child with a disability in school through the early years, so enrolment does not lapse for want of support. The benefit is direct financial assistance rather than an in-kind grant.
It is meant for students who are residents of Uttarakhand, hold a disability (Divyang) certificate, and are enrolled in Classes 1 to 8 at a recognised school in the state. Eligibility also turns on a family income ceiling, and applicants must not be drawing another scholarship for the same purpose. Applications are made online through the National Scholarship Portal.
