UP Scholarship 2026 Apply Online

This page tracks UP Scholarship 2026 Apply Online, a certificate verification schedule. The key figures are an application window closing 21 September 2026. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Applications open on 22 July 2026 and close on 21 September 2026, giving candidates 62 days to complete the process. The 62-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. A correction window is listed (As Per Schedule), so errors in the submitted form can be fixed within that period rather than by re-applying.

On qualifications, the notification states: 2027 Fresh Candidates : Whoever is a new candidate who has taken admission this year should be in class 11, 12 (High School / Intermediate)  2026-2027 & Other Dashmottar Courses UG / PG / Diploma / Certificates course, should apply in fresh. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

General / OBC / EWS, SC / ST / PH, and Female All Category are exempt from the application fee under this notification. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Document verification is where otherwise-successful candidates most often fall out, usually over a missing category certificate or a name mismatch across documents. Assemble originals plus self-attested photocopies well before the date, and get any discrepancy in spelling or date of birth corrected in advance — it cannot be resolved on the day.
