Overview

About SRSN

The State Research Scholarship is a cash award scheme run by the Directorate of Higher Education, Government of Nagaland, and funded entirely by the state government. It supports residents of Nagaland who are beginning advanced research and need help meeting the cost of their work.

The scholarship is aimed at scholars in the first year of an M.Phil, Ph.D. or D.Litt. programme at a recognised Indian university. The benefit is paid as cash, meant to help a scholar carry out research and complete the degree rather than to cover tuition alone.

Eligibility is narrow. The scheme is open to Scheduled Tribe and indigenous students of Nagaland who are pursuing research, are not employed in a government or semi-government post, and are not drawing another scholarship or stipend at the same time. Applications are made through Nagaland's Common Scholarship Portal, where candidates upload domicile, income and identity documents for verification.
