National Scholarship Portal Opens Registration for 2024-2025

The National Scholarship Portal (NSP) for 2024-2025 has begun accepting online registrations for various scholarship programs offered by the Indian government, aimed at supporting students from pre-matric to higher education levels. Concurrently, the Uttar Pradesh government has announced its own Pre-Matric and Post-Matric Scholarships, allowing applications for students from both within and outside the state starting July 1, 2024. In college sports, the NCAA has approved a rule to increase football scholarships from 85 to 105 for the 2025-26 season, enabling teams to better manage rosters amid changing dynamics. Meanwhile, CU Denver is preparing for its 2025 Celebration of Success gala to raise funds for student scholarships, featuring keynote speaker Oscar Munoz, a prominent business leader. Additionally, the University of Otago has opened a scholarship program for students in agriculture and related fields, although there are calls for broader eligibility criteria to include more degrees. The developments reflect a growing recognition of the importance of financial support across education sectors and disciplines.
