What this scheme offers
Digital Gujarat consolidates more than 25 separate scholarship schemes for SC, ST, OBC, NT-DNT (nomadic and de-notified tribes) and minority students into one registration and application system, spanning Pre-Matric support for younger students through Post-Matric tuition-fee reimbursement and maintenance allowances for those in higher education — rather than students and families having to identify and separately navigate each welfare department's own process.
