🎓 Post-Matric Scholarship for Minority Students (NSP Portal)
For Class 11 to PhD Students from Minority Communities in Goa
“Don’t let college dreams fade due to fees — your child deserves a chance to rise.”
Thousands of students in Goa from minority backgrounds have the talent to study further — but due to rising tuition costs, books, transport, and exam fees, many are forced to stop after Class 10.
To change this, the Ministry of Minority Affairs offers the Post-Matric Scholarship for Minority Students through the NSP Portal, covering expenses for students from Class 11 to post-graduation.
Whether you want to become a teacher, engineer, doctor, or government officer — this scholarship can ease your journey.
