The ST & SC Development Department of Odisha has extended the application deadlines for the Post-Matric Scholarship for the Academic Year 2025–26, providing additional time for eligible students to complete their submissions.
The Post-Matric Scholarship scheme supports learners from ST, SC, OBC/SEBC, and EBC communities, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder access to higher education. The initiative offers assistance covering tuition fees, maintenance allowances, and other approved academic expenses for students pursuing post-secondary and higher studies.
Eligible students are encouraged to apply or renew their scholarships through the Odisha State Scholarship Portal at scholarship.odisha.gov.in. Applicants are advised to complete the process early to avoid last-minute technical difficulties.
