UP Scholarship Portal 2025-26 reopens for 3.16 lakh pending students. Eligible applicants can complete verification and receive funds from Sept 29 to Oct 2.
Students who missed out on scholarship benefits during the 2025–26 academic year have received a major relief. The UP Scholarship Portal 2025-26 has reopened, allowing eligible post-matric students with pending cases to complete the required formalities and seek payment of their scholarship and fee reimbursement.
The reopening is aimed at students whose applications could not be processed because of technical glitches, heavy server traffic, incorrect information, or delays at the institutional level. According to the Social Welfare Department, around 3,16,057 pending cases are covered under this opportunity.
Who Can Apply Under the Reopened Portal?
The UP Scholarship Portal 2025-26 window is intended for eligible students whose scholarship could not be released despite meeting the required conditions during the previous cycle.
Students belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), General and Minority categories can be considered under the reopened process, subject to verification and eligibility.
The opportunity covers eligible students studying in recognised government, aided and private institutions. However, students applying for the new 2026–27 scholarship cycle or those who have already received their 2025–26 scholarship should not treat this window as a fresh application opportunity.
Why Has the Scholarship Portal Been Reopened?
Several applications from the 2025–26 cycle reportedly remained unresolved because of technical and administrative problems. These included portal-related issues, high server load, incomplete institutional forwarding, incorrect data and other verification-related difficulties.
Minister Asim Arun said the reopening would provide a fresh opportunity to clear eligible pending cases. Students should therefore check their application status carefully and follow the instructions issued by their respective institutions.
When Will Students Receive the Scholarship Money?
The UP Scholarship Portal 2025-26 has reopened from September 1, 2026. For applications that successfully complete verification and sanction, direct bank transfers are targeted between September 29 and October 2, 2026.
The final closing date for the reopened application process should be checked on the official scholarship portal. Students are advised not to wait until the last day because a large number of users accessing the portal simultaneously could create technical difficulties.

Check Aadhaar-Bank Linking Before Payment
For successful direct benefit transfer, students should ensure that their Aadhaar is correctly linked with the bank account and mapped through NPCI.
Students should verify that the bank account details provided for the scholarship are accurate and active. Before the expected payment period, applicants can also monitor their transaction status through the PFMS payment-tracking facility.
If the Aadhaar-bank mapping is not active or is linked to an incorrect account, students should contact their bank and get the issue corrected before the disbursement process begins.
Documents Students Should Keep Ready
Students should keep important documents available while completing the reopened process. These may include:
Aadhaar card
Domicile certificate
Caste certificate, where applicable
Income certificate
Current fee receipt
Admission-related documents
Bank passbook and IFSC details

Keeping these documents ready can make the correction and verification process easier.
Beware of Fraud and Unofficial Agents
Students should use only the official scholarship system and their educational institution for completing the process. They should avoid paying money to agents promising guaranteed scholarship approval or faster payment.
If a student faces an unresolved issue, a grievance can be raised through the appropriate government grievance mechanism. The 1076 helpline may also be used for relevant state-level assistance, while centrally sponsored scholarship queries can be directed to the appropriate NSP helpdesk.
What Should Students Do Now?
The UP Scholarship Portal 2025-26 reopening gives eligible students another opportunity to complete pending formalities and potentially receive the scholarship and fee reimbursement amount.
Students should check their profile, correct errors, complete the relock process and submit the required documents to their institution without delay. They should then regularly monitor institutional and DWO verification as well as their bank and PFMS payment status.
With the payment window targeted for September 29 to October 2, completing the verification process well in advance could help eligible students avoid last-minute problems.
