The Pradhan Mantri Yashasvi Scholarship (PM YASASVI Scheme) is a government program designed to support talented students from financially weaker families.
It helps students belonging to OBC, EBC, and DNT communities so they can continue their studies without money becoming a barrier.
Under this scheme, eligible students can receive financial support of up to ₹1,25,000 per year.
The scholarship is specially meant for students studying in top-class schools that consistently show 100% results in board exams.
How Much Scholarship Do Students Get?
The scholarship amount depends on the class the student is studying in:
Students of Class 9 receive ₹75,000
Students of Class 11 receive ₹1,25,000
The full scholarship amount is directly transferred to the student’s Aadhaar-linked bank account through DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer).
This ensures the money reaches the student quickly and transparently.
