Any scholarship is under of 16 age

Hello,

Yes, there are scholarships available for students under 16 years of age. These are usually designed to support school-level education and help with tuition, books, uniforms, and other expenses. Some examples include:

State Government Merit/Need-Based Scholarships: Many state education departments offer scholarships for students in class 6 to 10 based on academic performance and family income. These often require annual renewal.

Central Government Scholarships:

National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship (NMMS): For Class 8 students to continue education in higher secondary school; eligibility depends on marks and income criteria.

Scholarships by the Ministry of Education for school education based on merit or socio-economic criteria.

Specific Category Scholarships:

There are also scholarships for students belonging to SC/ST/OBC/EBC, or for girls, minorities, and economically weaker families. These can apply to students under 16 as well, depending on the scheme’s age and educational requirements.

Private/Foundation Scholarships: Many NGOs and foundations offer educational scholarships to school students for academic excellence, talent, or financial need.

To apply:

1. Check eligibility criteria like age, class, marks, and income.

2. Apply on the official portal of the scheme or through your school (many schools help students apply).

3. Keep necessary documents ready (marksheets, income certificate, bank details, etc.).

If you want, tell me your state and class, and I can suggest specific scholarships you can apply for.

All the best!
