The rise in educational expenses in India (5.3% YoY increase as reported by MHRD), has resulted in students opting out of higher education programs in India. Meritorious students from economically weaker sections find it hard to arrange for funds to continue their education. If you’re among those students who need financial assistance to continue their post-matric (class 10 onwards) education, then HP Udaan Scholarship Program 2018-19 is the right opportunity for you.

This scholarship provides financial assistance to students pursuing education in class 11, 12; graduation and diploma courses (including ITI courses) for science, arts and commerce streams. This is a means based scholarship which means that students will solely be selected based on their economic backgrounds. The main objective of this scholarship program will be to cater the need of students to get the well-deserved higher education.

Even students who are on the verge of dropping out post class 10 or class 12, but do not wish for the same and want to pursue higher studies can also apply for this scholarship and lead a worthy career. The scholarships under this program will be based on the course duration of applicants.
