Overview
About SGSTSC9T10
The State Government ST Scholarship (Class 9 to 10) is a cash scholarship run by the Tribal Affairs Department, also styled the Tribal Welfare Department, of the Government of Madhya Pradesh. It supports Scheduled Tribe students studying in Classes 9 and 10 within the state.
The scheme's stated purpose is to encourage education among Scheduled Tribe students and to improve their educational status. It does this through a direct cash benefit to eligible students, easing some of the recurring costs of staying in school at the secondary stage.
Support is meant for Scheduled Tribe students enrolled in Classes 9 and 10 in Madhya Pradesh, where the Scheduled Tribe community makes up 21.10% of the state's population. Income limits, class-wise amounts and the documents required are set by the department, so you should confirm the current eligibility conditions and rates before applying.
