The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Single Girl Child Scholarship supports girls from CBSE-affiliated schools pursuing higher education. Established to promote education among single girl children, the scheme aims to address the educational needs of students whose parents are central government employees with transferable jobs. The Board has evolved since its inception in 1921, transitioning from regional boards to a centralised system to better serve diverse educational requirements across India.

Open to Indian nationals studying in CBSE-affiliated schools. Applicants must be single girl children of parents employed in central government services with transferable jobs. The scheme typically prioritises girls from economically weaker sections or those facing educational challenges. Specific income or mark criteria are updated annually on the official page.
