Uttar Pradesh runs some of India's most generous student scholarship schemes. If you are studying at IFTM University in 2026-27 — or planning to join — here is how to claim what you are eligible for.
Samaj Kalyan Scholarships
The Social Welfare Department offers post-matric scholarships for SC, ST, OBC, and minority-category students domiciled in UP. Depending on the scheme, these can cover a large part of tuition plus maintenance allowances. Family income ceilings apply — check the current year's notification.
Merit-cum-Means & Other Schemes
General-category students with strong academics and limited family income can apply for merit-cum-means assistance. Separate schemes exist for wards of labourers (through labour welfare boards) and for differently-abled students.
Documents You Will Need
Domicile certificate, caste certificate (if applicable), income certificate, Class 10/12 marksheets, Aadhaar, bank account details, and the university's fee receipt and bonafide certificate. Get income and caste certificates made early — they take weeks.
Deadlines Matter Most
UP scholarship portals typically open soon after admissions and close within a few months. Missing the window means waiting a full year. IFTM's scholarship cell assists with form filling and document verification — visit them in your first month itself.
Combine With University Scholarships
University merit concessions and government scholarships can often be combined within rules. Talk to the admissions office (+91-9639004077) to plan your fee structure for the full programme duration, not just year one.
