Scholarship Exam Details

The Begum Hazrat Mahal National Scholarship is a central government initiative managed by the Maulana Azad Education Foundation (MAEF) under the Ministry of Minority Affairs. It is designed exclusively for girl students belonging to six notified minority communities: Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Parsis, and Jains. In 2026, the scholarship provides vital financial support to girls in Classes 9 to 12. Students in Classes 9 and 10 receive ₹5,000 per year, while those in Classes 11 and 12 receive ₹6,000 per year. The primary goal is to lower the dropout rate of minority girls by covering school fees and textbook costs. Unlike many other schemes on the National Scholarship Portal (NSP), this specific scholarship requires a dedicated application through the MAEF portal or NSP depending on the current year's nodal agency instructions
