National Scholarship Portal (NSP) 2020
Ministry of Electronics and Information technology under the government of India has started a new portal known as NATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP PORTAL (NSP) for the students at various education levels. The government has therefore launched NSP to make it easy for eligible students to apply for it and take benefits from it. The NSP SCHEME is for the OBC/SC/ST and minority candidate. Students can start to apply for the scholarship from July 2020 onwards.
This scholarship portal provides financial aid to students for pre-matric,post-matric, undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctorate levels. There are special categories for girls and minority candidates also in this scheme. Transgenders have also been considered eligible for this with a separate scheme for them. Families who have a single girl child can take advantage of this keep to encourage her only girl child in studies. Several people who are competent in providing food to their children but incompetent in providing education can enroll their child for financial support.
