State Scholarship for Class 6th to 10th (Denotified, Nomadic and Semi-Nomadic)(SSCDNNSN)
Overview
About SSCDNNSN
The State Scholarship for Class 6th to 10th is a cash scholarship for school students from Denotified, Nomadic and Semi-Nomadic communities in Madhya Pradesh. It helps these students meet the running costs of staying in school through the middle and secondary years, and it is paid as an annual amount spread across the school session.
The scheme is run by the Madhya Pradesh Denotified, Nomadic and Semi-Nomadic Welfare Department, the state department created for the welfare of these communities after it was carved out of the Tribal Welfare department. The money reaches students through the Directorate of Public Instruction, which handles the disbursal to schools across the state.
You are covered if you belong to a denotified, nomadic or semi-nomadic community recognised in Madhya Pradesh and are studying in classes 6 to 10 within the state. The benefit is a direct cash payment to the student, and the amount is set by class and by whether the student is a boy or a girl. Because it targets students continuing in these classes, the aim is to keep children in school rather than to fund college or higher study.
