SSP Pre Matric Scholarship 2024-2025

If you are a student belonging to SC, ST, and OBC (Other Backward Classes), you are eligible for the SSP Pre Matric Scholarship in 2024. This scholarship will support you financially in your studies. Any qualified student can apply for this scholarship. All you really have to do is register on the State Scholarship Portal (SSP), an initiative by the Karnataka Government. This portal works for both pre-matric and post-matric scholarships. So, read on for all the information I have to share regarding this scholarship.

What is SSP Pre-Matric Scholarship?

The SSP Pre-Matric Scholarship is a scholarship program offered by the Karnataka government for students from classes I to X belonging to the SC, ST, and OBC communities. Unfortunately, a student with a family income above Rs.1 lakh is not eligible for the SSP Pre-Matric scholarship. Thus, your family income must not exceed Rs.1 lakh. Also, any student outside Karnataka can’t apply for the SSP Pre-Matric scholarship. You will need an NSP ID to apply for this scholarship.
