How to Apply
- Open the National Scholarship Portal (scholarships.gov.in) and choose One Time Registration (OTR).
- Enter your mobile number and Aadhaar details. A reference number is sent by SMS.
- Install the NSP OTR app and the Aadhaar FaceRD app on an Android phone and complete face authentication with the reference number.
- Note down your 14-digit OTR number. It is used for every NSP scholarship from now on.

Tips Before You Apply
- Apply a few days before the last date. The portal is slow in the final week.
- Your name, date of birth and gender must match Aadhaar exactly, or face authentication fails.
- After submitting, ask your school or college to verify the form on NSP. An unverified form is rejected.
- NSP registration is free. Do not pay anyone who promises a scholarship.
