Scholarship Status - Here’s How to Check Your Payment Details Online
Students who have applied for a scholarship can easily check whether their application has been approved, is under verification or is still pending. The process can be completed online through the official scholarship portal used for the application.
For central government scholarships, students generally use the National Scholarship Portal (NSP), while state-specific schemes may have separate portals. Students from Uttar Pradesh, for example, can track their applications through the UP Scholarship Portal.
To check your application status:
Use the payment status option on the PFMS portal and enter the required bank and other details. If the payment has been released, the available transaction details will be displayed. If it has not yet been processed, the system may show the relevant payment update.
Visit the official UP Scholarship Portal and open the 'Student' section. Select 'Fresh' or 'Renewal', depending on your application. Enter your registration number and other required details to log in.
Once inside your account, you can view the application status and available payment-related information.
The OTR can be generated using Aadhaar or an Aadhaar Enrolment ID. Students applying through NSP should keep their OTR number secure for future use.
Students who need help with online services can also seek assistance through a nearby Common Service Centre (CSC).
Never share your Aadhaar details, bank information, OTP or scholarship portal password with unauthorised persons. Checking the application and payment status through official portals is the safest way to track your scholarship.
