What is CBSE Single Girl Child Scholarship
Did you just pass class 10? Are you the only child of your parents? CBSE has a special reward to help you finish school.
This is what nobody tells you. This is a pure merit reward. It does not matter how much your parents earn.
Who Can Apply
You must be a girl. You must be the single child of your parents. No brothers or sisters are allowed.
You must have scored at least 60% marks in your CBSE class 10 board exams. You must continue studying in class 11 and 12 in a CBSE school.
Here is where people get confused. If your school charges more than ₹1,500 per month for tuition, you cannot apply.
How Much Money You Get
You get ₹500 every month. CBSE pays this for exactly two years (class 11 and class 12).
Most people miss this. You get the money in a lump sum. It goes directly into your bank account through NEFT.
Documents You Need
You need very few papers for this.
- Class 10 CBSE marksheet
- Aadhaar card
- Bank passbook in your name
- An affidavit stating you are the only child
- School ID card for class 11

Common Mistakes to Avoid
