Eligible candidates should hail from families with an annual income below Rs. 2 lakhs and have scored over 90 per cent (or 75 per cent for students with disabilities) in the SSLC examination.

Selected scholars will receive Rs. 10,000 annually during their PUC studies, with the potential for increased financial assistance ranging from Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 75,000 per year for undergraduate studies, contingent upon maintaining consistent academic performance.

Additionally, the program offers supplementary resources such as soft skills training, mentoring, and career counselling to foster holistic development and enhance scholars' employability. Interested applicants can apply online via the official Vidyadhan website or the SDF Vidya App by June 30.
