The MPTAAS Scholarship is a post-matric scholarship scheme launched by the Tribal Affairs Department of Madhya Pradesh to support students from the Scheduled Tribe (ST) and the Scheduled Caste (SC)..

Its primary purpose is to remove financial barriers to education for eligible students by providing monetary assistance for higher studies.​

Overview of the MPTAAS Scholarship Program

The MPTAAS Scholarship Program is targeted at Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Scheduled Caste (SC) students (and extended to Other Backwards Classes (OBC) in recent updates) pursuing education beyond 10th grade in recognized institutes​

​Through a fully online platform, MPTAAS automates scholarship applications, verification, and fund disbursement, ensuring that benefits reach students directly in their bank accounts via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT)​

This guide is designed for students, parents, and school administrators in Madhya Pradesh to understand the scholarship’s features and the application process.

Latest Updates in MPTAAS Scholarship 2025-26

1. The online application process for the MPTAAS Scholarship 2025–26 has officially started on the Madhya Pradesh Tribal Welfare Department’s portal. Students belonging to SC, ST, and OBC categories can now register or renew their applications through the portal.
2. The income limit for eligibility has been confirmed as ₹6,00,000 per year for families applying under this scholarship. This allows more students from lower and middle-income groups to qualify for financial assistance.
3. The government has updated the scholarship amounts according to course categories and whether the student is a hosteller or a day scholar.
   • For professional courses like engineering, medical, or management, hostellers receive up to ₹1,500 per month, while day scholars receive up to ₹550 per month.
   • For general undergraduate and postgraduate courses, the scholarship amount is slightly lower but covers both tuition and maintenance costs.
4. This year, the e-KYC verification process has been made compulsory. Every student must link their Aadhaar number, Samagra ID, and bank account correctly. Without successful e-KYC verification, the scholarship will not be approved or transferred.
5. Students who received the scholarship last year can now renew their applications in fewer steps. The new portal design automatically fills in previous details, reducing the need to upload documents again unless there is a change in income, bank, or college details.
6. The MPTAAS portal now sends SMS notifications for each stage of the application — from submission to approval and payment. The website has also been optimized for mobile devices, so students can check their status easily on their phones.
7. Colleges and universities have been given new login systems for real-time verification of student documents. This reduces delays caused by manual approval and speeds up the release of funds.
