Objectives of TS Post Matric Scholarship

The Government of Telangana aims to financially support students for a higher level of studies, especially when they face issues due to the inability to afford it. Most students belonging to Socially Backward classes or belonging to the Physically Handicapped Category are unable to pursue their higher studies due to lower income.

Hence, to reduce such situations, the state government will cover the non-refundable fees and maintenance charges of such studies while studying in higher classes after passing Class 10. This will not only contribute to the welfare of the categories but also result in a reduction in dropout cases.

Scholarship Amount

The funds will be disbursed directly into the account of the applicants through Direct Bank Transfer Mode or DBT. However, they will depend on the course category they are pursuing and the educational expense type. The government will fund both Institutional fees and maintenance expenditures. The courses are categorised into groups in the following manner:

• Professional Courses: Group-I
• Post Graduate Courses: Group-II
• Graduate Courses: Group-III
• Intermediate level Courses: Groups-IV

RTF or Reimbursement of Tuition Fee

The candidates will receive assistance in payment of non-refundable Tuition Fees of the Institute to which they are admitted. However, the money will be directly transferred to the Institution on behalf of the candidate to ensure the educational utilization of the funds. The monetary amount that can be reimbursed will range from Rs. 850 to Rs. 6.90 Lakhs. This entirely depends upon the course of the student. The RTF has been fixed as:
