The UP Scholarship — run by the Social Welfare Department of Uttar Pradesh through scholarship.up.gov.in — covers pre-matric (Classes 9–10), post-matric Intermediate (11–12) and post-matric "Dashmottar" (UG, PG and diploma) students domiciled in UP. With the 2025-26 application windows closed since October and December 2025, the question that matters now is the one this page answers first: where is your money?
How to check your 2025-26 payment status
- Open scholarship.up.gov.in → Status → "Application Status".
- Enter your registration number and date of birth, and select the 2025-26 session.
- Read the status line: verified by institution → forwarded to district committee → sent for disbursement → disbursed. "Disbursed" means the transfer is initiated — money typically reaches the Aadhaar-seeded bank account within 10–15 days.
- Cross-check on PFMS: pfms.nic.in → "Know Your Payments" → enter bank name + account number. PFMS shows the actual credit attempt and any failure reason (closed account, name mismatch, unseeded Aadhaar).
- If PFMS shows a failed credit, fix the bank/Aadhaar issue at your branch, then inform your institution's scholarship clerk — re-disbursement runs in batches.
Eligibility recap (and what trips people up)
- Domicile: Uttar Pradesh resident, enrolled in a recognised institution.
- Income limits: family income up to ₹1 lakh/year for pre-matric, ₹2 lakh/year for post-matric (verify the current category-wise limit in the official notification — limits for SC/ST post-matric have differed in some cycles).
- Documents: Aadhaar, income certificate, caste certificate (where applicable), previous-year marksheet, enrolment certificate, Aadhaar-seeded bank account, photo. The single biggest rejection cause is a bank account not seeded to Aadhaar — fix this before the 2026-27 window opens.
- Renewals must reapply every year; the portal does not auto-renew.
2026-27 — what to do before the window opens
The portal has opened fresh registrations in July in recent cycles, so a July 2026 opening is the reasonable expectation — but treat it as expected, not announced. Use the gap: get the fresh income certificate issued (they expire), seed your bank account to Aadhaar, and keep last year's marksheet scanned. When the official 2026-27 notification lands, we will publish the dates here the same day.
No fee, no agents
The UP Scholarship application is free at every step. Cyber-cafe typing charges aside, nobody — no "agent", no website, no WhatsApp forward — can speed up verification or disbursement for money. Report anyone demanding payment to cybercrime.gov.in.

Frequently Asked Questions
UP Scholarship 2025-26 ka paisa kab aayega?UP Scholarship 2025-26 का पैसा कब आएगा?
The cycle is in its disbursement phase. Check your status at scholarship.up.gov.in (registration number + DOB) and on PFMS "Know Your Payments". Once status shows "Disbursed", the credit typically lands in your Aadhaar-seeded account within 10–15 days. No single official completion date has been announced.
UP Scholarship status kaise check kare?UP Scholarship स्थिति कैसे जाँचें?
Two places: (1) scholarship.up.gov.in → Status → Application Status — shows the file's stage (institution verification → district committee → disbursement). (2) pfms.nic.in → Know Your Payments — shows the actual bank-credit attempt and any failure reason. Use both: the portal tells you where the file is, PFMS tells you where the money is.
UP Scholarship 2026-27 form kab se bhara jayega?UP Scholarship 2026-27 फॉर्म कब से भरा जाएगा?
Expected around July 2026, following the portal's usual annual pattern — but the official 2026-27 notification has not released yet, so treat the month as expected rather than fixed. Renewal candidates must reapply; there is no auto-renewal.
What are the income limits for UP Scholarship?
Family income up to ₹1,00,000/year for pre-matric (Classes 9–10) and ₹2,00,000/year for post-matric (11–12 and Dashmottar). Category-specific variations have applied in some cycles — verify the current limits in the official notification on scholarship.up.gov.in before applying.
Why was my scholarship payment rejected or returned?
The most common causes: bank account not seeded to Aadhaar, account closed or dormant, name mismatch between bank records and the application, or institution-level verification lapses. Check the failure reason on PFMS, fix it at your bank, then ask your institution's scholarship clerk to flag the record for the next re-disbursement batch.
Kya UP Scholarship form bharne ki koi fees hai?क्या फॉर्म भरने की कोई फीस है?
No — the application is completely free. Anyone demanding money to file, "verify" or "speed up" a UP Scholarship application is committing fraud. Report such demands at cybercrime.gov.in.
