Baba Gurbachan Singh Scholarship Scheme 2025-26 Applications Open

 

Since 1993, the Education Department of Sant Nirankari Mandal has been supporting meritorious students through a scholarship initiative designed to recognize and reward brilliance in academics, sports, and cultural achievements. Initially, the scheme provided a one-time honorarium to students who had demonstrated excellence in their respective fields. Over the years, recognizing the evolving educational needs of students, the Mandal has now revamped the scheme to offer comprehensive financial aid and mentorship to ensure students not only receive quality education but also succeed in life.

REVISED SCHEME OVERVIEW

The revised scholarship scheme aims to offer complete guidance and financial support to both promising and financially underprivileged students across India. Eligible students can now receive up to 50,000 per year or the actual tuition/annual fee amount—whichever is less. This enhancement reflects the Mandal's commitment to making education accessible to all deserving candidates.
