Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar Meritorious Student Award Scheme Details
This Madhya Pradesh scheme is made for meritorious Scheduled Caste students studying under MP Board, CBSE, or ICSE. It is an award scheme, not a general scholarship for all students, so only top scorers covered under the rules can get the payment.
Application is still handled through the school or institution head in the available official scheme guide. No working public 2026 application page for this specific scheme was found during this update.
One old reference link used in the draft was no longer usable because it returned a server error on 02 August 2026. That outdated link has been removed and replaced with reachable department and guideline links.
