अल्पसंख्यकों के लिए पोस्ट मैट्रिक छात्रवृत्ति योजना के तहत छात्रवृत्ति के लिए आवेदन करने के इच्छुक सभी पात्र छात्रों को सूचित किया जाता है कि वे राष्ट्रीय छात्रवृत्ति पोर्टल (https://scholarships.gov.in/) के माध्यम से ऐसा कर सकते हैं। विस्तृत योजना दिशानिर्देश के साथ अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न यहां संलग्न किए जा रहे हैं और इच्छुक छात्रों से अपेक्षा की जाती है कि वे दस्तावेजों को ध्यान से पढ़ें और योजना के तहत आवेदन तभी करें जब वे योजना दिशानिर्देशों में परिभाषित सभी पात्रता मानदंडों को पूरा करते हों। पात्रता मानदंड और चयन प्रक्रिया नीचे उल्लिखित है :

पात्रता मानदंड -:
छात्रवृत्ति उन छात्रों को प्रदान की जाएगी जिन्होंने पिछली अंतिम परीक्षा में 50% से कम अंक या समकक्ष ग्रेड हासिल नहीं किया है और जिनके माता-पिता/अभिभावकों की सभी स्रोतों से वार्षिक आय 2.00 लाख रुपये से अधिक नहीं है।

चयन प्रक्रिया
नवीन : अंतर-चयन में अंकों के बजाय गरीबी को महत्व दिया जाना है (आवेदक को आय प्रमाण पत्र जमा करना आवश्यक है)। समान आय के मामले में, आवेदक के ‘जन्म तिथि’ मानदंड से योग्यता उत्पन्न की जाएगी (वरिष्ठ को प्राथमिकता दी जाएगी)।

नवीनीकरण : नवीनीकरण मामलों के लिए कोई योग्यता सूची तैयार नहीं की जाती है। नवीनीकरण आवेदकों को छात्रवृत्ति मिलेगी यदि किसी ने अपने पिछले वर्ष की परीक्षाओं में (उसी संस्थान में और उसी पाठ्यक्रम में) 50% अंक प्राप्त किए हैं।
