How many students will be supported in 2026-27?

The Programme aims to support 25,707 students in 2026-27 across all seven categories. This figure covers both new applicants and renewal scholars — students who received the scholarship in a previous year and are continuing their course.


Is there any fee to apply?

No. Applying for the SBI Asha Scholarship is completely free at every stage — registration, application, document upload, and selection.


Please stay alert: the Programme will never ask you to pay a fee to apply, to be shortlisted, or to “release” your scholarship. If anyone asks you for money in exchange for an application or a selection, do not pay — it is not from us, and you should report it to support.
