UP Scholarship Status 2026: The Uttar Pradesh Social Welfare Department has released the second instalment of the UP Scholarship for the 2025–26 academic session. The funds are being transferred directly to eligible students through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system, ensuring a smooth and transparent process. Students from Pre-Matric (Classes 9–10) and post-matric levels (Classes 11–12 and higher education) whose applications were submitted and verified on time by the District Scholarship Committee are expected to receive the payment.
This scholarship aims to support students in covering essential academic expenses such as tuition fees, books, study materials, transportation, and exam-related costs. Beneficiaries can check the credited amount in their Aadhaar-linked bank accounts. The use of DBT eliminates the need for intermediaries, making the process faster and more secure.
