FAQs — Girl Students Scholarship AP & Telangana 2026
Can I apply for multiple scholarships at the same time?▼
Generally, central and state scholarships cannot be combined for the same expense (e.g., tuition fee). However, Pragati (for BTech) + Central Sector (NSP) can be combined by some students as they cover different expenses. Check each scholarship's terms — some explicitly allow combining while others don't. When in doubt, apply for all and let the portal handle deduplication.
What is the last date to apply for girl student scholarships in 2026?▼
Most central scholarships (NSP, Pragati, AICTE) have application windows between August and October 2026. State scholarships (AP EPASS, TS EPASS) open after college admissions are completed — typically September to November. Always check the official portal for exact dates — missing by even one day means waiting until next year.
Is bank account mandatory for scholarship disbursement?▼
Yes — all government scholarships are disbursed via DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) to your bank account. The bank account must be Aadhaar-linked and in the student's own name. A joint account with parents is also acceptable for some scholarships. Savings account is preferred over current account for DBT.
