Any student who belongs to the NT/DNT category, is pursuing higher education in a self-financed college in Gujarat, and whose family’s annual income does not exceed ₹2,00,000/- is eligible to apply for and receive benefits under this scholarship scheme.

Under the Scholarship for Self Finance Colleges Students of NT/DNT, each eligible student may receive a maximum financial assistance amount of up to ₹50,000/- to cover education-related expenses.

The financial assistance provided through this scheme is intended to cover essential educational expenses such as tuition fees, education fees, registration charges, and other approved academic costs incurred by the student.

The scholarship is exclusively applicable to students enrolled in self-financed colleges in Gujarat and is not valid for those studying in government or grant-in-aid institutions.
