About this Scholarship
The Shri Sultan Chand Trust Merit cum Means Scholarship is listed as a privately funded scheme that invites applications from students who wish to continue into higher education and who need financial help to do so. As a merit cum means award it considers both the academic record of the applicant and the financial position of the family, rather than either factor alone. The listing gives no award value for a current cycle in the information available here, and it carries an academic year that has already passed, so it should not be treated as an open call.
Students interested in the scheme should confirm from the trust's official notification whether applications are being accepted, what support is offered and how candidates are assessed.
Eligibility Criteria
The scheme is generally intended for students who have completed at least class 12 and are moving into or continuing higher education, and who can show a consistent academic record across their school examinations. A family income ceiling applies, so an income certificate or comparable proof of the household's financial position is normally examined alongside the marksheets. The trust assesses merit and need together, and applicants may be asked to explain their course choice and future plans in their own words.
Meeting the stated conditions does not by itself confirm support, since selection rests with the trust, and the current terms should be read from the official notification.
How to Apply
Applicants are usually asked to send scanned copies of their documents by email first and then to post self attested copies for verification, following the instructions given in the official notification. The papers commonly required include school marksheets or certificates evidencing academic performance, identity proof for the student and the parents such as an Aadhaar or voter card, a passport size photograph, a family income certificate, and a written statement from the student covering the chosen course, the college and their plans for the years ahead. The file has to reach the trust before the announced closing date.
Applicants should confirm the current email address, postal address and document list from the official source.
