The Pradhama Shiksha Yojana Pre-Matric Scholarships 2020 provide financial support to Indian students in Classes 1 to 10 from Kerala and Tamil Nadu to help them complete their pre-matric education without financial barriers. This centrally sponsored scheme aims to reduce dropout rates by covering school-related expenses for eligible students. It ensures that economically weaker sections can continue their studies without interruption due to financial constraints.

Open to Indian nationals studying in Classes 1 to 10 in Kerala or Tamil Nadu. Applicants must belong to notified minority communities (Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, or Parsis). Family income should not exceed the threshold set by the scheme. Preference may be given to students with lower annual income. No minimum marks are required for eligibility.

Apply online through the official portal listed on the scheme’s page. Register with basic details, upload required documents such as income certificate, community certificate, and school ID, then submit the application before the deadline. Track the application status using the registered ID. Contact the scholarship helpline for assistance if needed.
