UP Extends Sanskrit Education Scholarship Coverage: Monthly Grants for Class 6 to Higher Education

The Government of Uttar Pradesh has announced a major expansion of its Sanskrit Education Scholarship scheme to support students studying in traditional Sanskrit schools, Gurukuls, and degree institutions across the state.

Key Policy Changes & Income Ceiling Removal

Under the revised guidelines, the UP State Government has completely abolished the previous family income cap of ₹50,000 per annum. This reform ensures that all enrolled Sanskrit students meeting the attendance threshold can receive financial support without income restrictions.

Scholarship Amounts & Student Coverage

The scheme covers students across multiple educational stages:

• Prathama (Classes 6–7): ₹50 per month
• Prathama (Class 8): ₹75 per month
• Purva Madhyama (Classes 9–10): ₹100 per month
• Uttar Madhyama (Classes 11–12): ₹200 per month
• Shastri & Acharya (UG & PG): ₹200 to ₹250 per month

For full eligibility rules and document details, check the UP Sanskrit Education Scholarship guide.

Eligibility & Attendance Norms

To receive the monthly stipend, students must be enrolled in recognized Sanskrit institutions in Uttar Pradesh, maintain at least 75% attendance, and secure minimum 50% passing marks in their previous annual examinations. Payments are processed through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) linked to Aadhaar-seeded bank accounts.
