What is the Kerala E-Grants Scholarship?
Kerala E-Grants 3.0 is an online centralized system for distributing scholarships/schemes to all Pre-Matric and Post-Matric students in the SC, ST, OBC communities in Kerala.
This system is an integrated online software solution for distributing various educational assistance schemes of the Scheduled Castes Development Department. Beneficiaries of any educational assistance scheme must first register by providing basic information such as name, address, date of birth, gender, mobile number, bank account details, and Aadhar number. Such registered students can apply for various schemes through the same application.
With a single registration, the system can uniquely identify a student, and these basic details will be used to distribute educational assistance throughout the educational period under various schemes. If the student cannot apply online, there will be a provision for institutions to submit the applications. Financial assistance reaches the students' bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
