College Student Schemes

The Maharashtra DBT portal provides students with a single-window digital platform to access various post-matric scholarships, freeships, tuition fee reimbursements, maintenance allowances, and educational assistance schemes offered by the Government of Maharashtra. The portal enables eligible students pursuing higher education in colleges and universities to check scheme eligibility, submit online applications, upload required documents, and track application status in a transparent and paperless manner.

Integrated with Aadhaar authentication, academic databases, and banking systems, the platform facilitates seamless verification and Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) of scholarship benefits directly into student's bank accounts. The portal aims to simplify the scholarship disbursement process, reduce processing time, enhance transparency, and ensure timely financial assistance to students belonging to various social and economic categories across Maharashtra.
