The Post-Matric Outside State scholarship is one of the registration categories on the Uttar Pradesh Scholarship and Fee Reimbursement portal. The Social Welfare Department (Samaj Kalyan Vibhag) of Uttar Pradesh runs it. The portal lists it under the Social Welfare Department as “Postmatric Other State”. The name says it is for students who study outside the state.
This page sets out only what the official sources I could read say. They give family income limits for SC and General category post-matric students. They do not give an amount for this category, and they do not give the 2026-27 dates. Check the portal before you apply.
What you get
The official pages I could read do not state the scholarship amount for this category. The Social Welfare Department says scholarship money goes into the student’s bank account through PFMS, the Public Financial Management System, with the whole application done online through scholarship.up.gov.in.
Who can apply
- Category: The portal’s list shows the outside-state link only under the Social Welfare Department, for ST, SC and General category students. The OBC and minority sections of that list show no outside-state link. The same list shows Social Welfare links for ST, SC and General students.
- Family income: For post-matric SC students, the limit is Rs. 2,50,000 a year. For General category students, it is Rs. 2,00,000 a year. The page does not name a year, and it gives no limit for ST students.
- Institution: The portal publishes a list of blacklisted institutions, so check that your college is not on it. The portal has a “LIST OF BLACKLISTED INSTITUTIONS” section.
- Domicile, course and age: The official pages I could read do not set out these rules for this category.
How to apply
- Go to the official portal at scholarship.up.gov.in and start from its registration links.
- Under the Social Welfare Department section, choose the “Postmatric Other State (Fresh)” registration. The portal lists this link for fresh registration.
- For renewal, use the separate “Postmatric Other State (Renewal)” link. The portal lists a renewal link for this category too.
- The portal also has a separate login for institutes outside the state. An “Out of State Institute login” is listed on the portal.
- The official pages I could read do not describe the rest of the form or what happens after you submit.
Documents you need
The official pages I could read do not list the documents for this category. Check the instructions on the portal before you apply.
How students are selected
The official pages I could read do not explain how applications are chosen.
Renewal
The portal lists a separate renewal link for this category. The official pages I could read do not give the renewal rules, such as the marks or attendance needed.
Important dates
I could not find the 2026-27 dates for this category in an official document. The portal copy I could read appears to be an old snapshot. It shows 1 August 2020 as the registration start date for the outside-state category. Do not use that date for 2026-27. Check the portal for the current window and the current list of categories before you apply.
