Named after the legendary astronaut, the Kalpana Chawla Memorial Award is a high-merit scholarship provided by the Directorate of Higher Education, Haryana. For the 2026 academic cycle, this scholarship is strictly for meritorious girl students who have passed Class 12 and are entering their first year of a degree course in any stream (Science, Commerce, or Arts). The scholarship provides a lump-sum annual grant of ₹12,000. The primary selection criterion is being in the Top 2,000 merit list of the state board or central board within the state of Haryana. It is a "Recognition of Excellence" award that aims to motivate girls to pursue higher studies without financial hesitation. Unlike BPL-specific schemes, this focuses primarily on state-level ranking, making it highly prestigious for school toppers across the state.
