The TS ePASS Post-Matric Minority Welfare Scholarship for the academic year 2026-27 provides full tuition fee reimbursement (RTF) and a variable maintenance allowance (MTF). The tuition fee reimbursement covers all non-refundable college fees as fixed by the university or regulatory bodies. For the academic year 2026-27, the State government has decided to credit post-matric scholarships, including both RTF and MTF, directly to eligible students' Aadhaar-linked bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system using the Aadhaar Payment Bridge System (APBS). After the amount is credited, the student is responsible for paying the applicable fees to the institution. The maintenance charges (MTF) are directly credited to the student's bank account and vary based on the course group, typically ranging from ā¹500 to ā¹1,200 per month.
