NMMSS Scholarship 2026-27 ki application deadline extend kar di gayi hai. Union Ministry of Education ne 1 September 2026 ko ek official notification jaari karke National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship Scheme (NMMSS) ke liye application ki last date 30 September 2026 tak badha di hai. Ye scholarship Class 9 se Class 12 tak ke students ko milti hai, aur amount hai ₹12,000 per annum (₹1,000 per month). Apply karne ke liye National Scholarship Portal (NSP) — scholarships.gov.in — par jaana hoga.
Sabse important baat: NMMSS ek Merit-Based Scholarship hai jo economically weaker sections ke meritorious students ko di jaati hai, taaki wo Class 8 ke baad padhai chhod na dein. Har saal 1 lakh fresh scholarships Class 9 ke students ko milti hain, aur ye scholarship renewal mode me Class 10 se Class 12 tak continue hoti hai. Lekin ye sirf State Government, Government-aided aur local body schools ke students ke liye hai — private school walon ko nahi milegi.
