About Nirankari Rajmata Scholarship

Sant Nirankari Charitable Foundation had earlier launched a Scholarship Scheme to provide Financial Assistance to Meritorious Students from the academic year 2014-15, on the basis of “Merit-Cum-Means”, to enable them to pursue Professional and Technical Courses at Graduate and Post-Graduate levels to excel in their life. The scheme has evolved an objective and transparent mechanism to assist eligible, meritorious and needy students. The Scholarship Scheme has been named “NIRANKARI RAJMATA SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME” for the Academic Year 2015–16.

Key Features of the Nirankari Rajmata Scholarship Scheme

This Scholarship Scheme is open to all the students, who fulfil the eligibility criteria as laid down herein below and wish to pursue higher study in India only. 50% of the Scholarship amount is reserved for girls. However, this amount can be used for other students, if eligible girl students are lesser than the reserved level.

For this Scholarship Scheme, a duly constituted committee of the Education Department of Sant Nirankari Charitable Foundation will assess the economic condition and financial position of the applicant’s family.
This committee will consist of four members i.e. Member Education, Administrator, one Educationist and one Advocate.
The Committee will take into account all the relevant factors like the livelihood pattern of the family, the nature and number of dependents, the socio-economic strata of the family, the financial requirements of the student and the family, the nature of schooling and academic merit of the applicant, and other parameters like attitude and behaviour of the applicant and his family or any other aspect as may be decided by the Committee from time to time.
In certain cases, the education committee may recommend an inspection of the home and the living standard of the family.
