Haryana Scholarships: The Complete Guide (2026)

Haryana's scholarship system combines caste-based Post-Matric schemes with several named merit, sports, and stipend programs. This guide walks through all of them.

Post-Matric scholarships are split by category

Like most states, Haryana runs separate Post-Matric forms by category:

• Haryana Post-Matric Scholarship for SC Students
• Haryana Post-Matric Scholarship for BC/OBC Students

Alongside this, the Consolidated Stipend Scheme for SC Students provides an additional stipend specifically for SC students — check both if you're SC, since they're structured differently and a genuinely eligible student may qualify for more than one.

Named schemes beyond the category-based ones

• Haryana State Merit Scholarship — based on academic performance, not caste category.
• Kalpana Chawla Chhatravritti Yojna — for girl students, named after the astronaut; check its specific class/stage eligibility.
• Dr. Ambedkar Medhavi Chhattar Sansodhit Yojana — a named merit scheme; check its specific eligibility criteria before applying.
• Haryana State Sports Scholarship Scheme — a dedicated program for student-athletes, separate from academic or category-based schemes.

Documents you'll almost always need

1. Aadhaar Card, linked to your mobile number and bank account.
2. Haryana Domicile / Resident Certificate.
3. Caste Certificate, for SC or BC/OBC applicants.
4. Family Income Certificate.
5. Latest marksheet, matching your current class or stage.
6. Bank passbook seeded with Aadhaar, for payment.

How to find the right scheme

1. Check your category first — SC and BC/OBC students each have a dedicated Post-Matric form, and SC students should also check the Consolidated Stipend Scheme.
2. If you're a strong academic performer, check the Haryana State Merit Scholarship regardless of category.
3. If you're a girl student, check the Kalpana Chawla Chhatravritti Yojna specifically.
4. If you're a student-athlete, check the Haryana State Sports Scholarship Scheme.
5. Check central schemes too — our guide to how state scholarships work explains how state and central (NSP) systems fit together.
