What is Meghalaya ST Post-Matric Scholarship?
Meghalaya's hill districts mean many Khasi, Jaintia, and Garo students — along with every other recognised tribal community — have to leave home and pay for hostel stays just to continue past Class 10, and the Post-Matric Scholarship is built around that reality. Depending on whether a student is in Class 11-12, graduation, or postgraduate study, the award ranges from ₹5,000 to ₹15,000 a year, structured to absorb tuition fees, hostel charges, and other incidental costs rather than a single lump sum. Applications go entirely through the National Scholarship Portal at scholarships.gov.in, keeping verification centralised across every recognised institution in the state.
