Bihar Scholarship is an educational opportunity for the students who are permanent residents of the state. The Government of Bihar and other private organisations together offer a number of scholarships for meritorious and underprivileged students of the state. The key objective of each scholarship is to encourage and motivate deserving students to pursue further studies regardless of any financial constraints.
This is done in order to aid financially weak students to pursue higher education. Candidates from SC, ST, OBC and EBC categories are eligible to apply for the scholarship. The candidates who wish to apply for the Bihar Scholarship must be aware of the Bihar State Scholarship details.
