National Scholarship Portal (NSP) is an online scholarship platform launched by the Government of India, primarily aimed at assisting students in applying for various scholarship schemes through a single website. It functions as a one-stop portal where students can register, verify their eligibility criteria, submit scholarship applications, upload necessary documents, track the current status of their applications, and receive scholarship funds directly into their bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mechanism. This portal encompasses various scholarship schemes from the Central Government, State Governments, the UGC, the AICTE, and the Ministry of Minority Affairs, catering to students across India enrolled in school, college, undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional courses.
