Scholarship & Stipend :
In order that no brilliant student is prevented from pursuing post-matric, higher studies because of poverty, the Central Government as well as the State Government introduced various scholarship schemes, five of which are being currently administered in the state by the Scholarship and Stipend Section of the Education Directorate, Government of West Bengal, Bikash Bhavan, 9th floor, North Block, Salt Lake, Kolkata-700 091:

National Scholarship Scheme
National Merit Scholarship Scheme
D.P.I. Special Stipend Scheme
Hindi Scholarship Scheme
West Bengal Govt. Merit-cum-Means Scholarship Scheme

National Scholarship Scheme :
Introduced in 1961 -62, this scheme ran continuously for more than four decades before being formally withdrawn from the 2004-05 session. This means no candidates passing their qualifying examination (like Madhyamik / H.S / Graduation) in 2004-05 or later can apply for the National Scholarships any more; only the renewal cases will be sanctioned now for those students who came into the fold of this scholarship scheme before 2004-05.

West Bengal Govt. Merit-cum-Means Scholarship Scheme (WBG M-C-M) :
The State Government has introduced from the academic year 2006-2007 a new scholarship scheme named 'West Bengal Government Merit-cum-Means Scholarship Scheme' for providing financial assistance to the poor but meritorious students of the State pursuing higher studies at various post-Madhyamik levels.

Meritorious students coming from poor families, who are domiciled in West Bengal and have en¬rolled themselves in one of the State Govt., institutions or State Govt., aided institutions after passing out from the State Board/Council of Secondary/Higher Secondary Education or a State-aided Uni¬versity in West Bengal will be eligible to apply for this scholarship.

Hindi Scholarship Scheme:
In order to encourage the study of Hindi in Non-Hindi speaking states, Government of India has implemented the Hindi Scholarship Scheme for the post-matric students [H.S., U.G., P.G., and Research (M. Phil. / Ph.D. etc)]. The scholarship is given to students whose mother tongue is not Hindi and who are studying in a Non-Hindi speaking state in a recognized full-time course with Hindi as the sole subject or as one of the combination subjects. The total quota of Hindi Scholarships for West Bengal is 239.
