If you’re a girl from a financially struggling family and dreaming of continuing your education after school, here’s some good news. The Malabar Charitable Trust has started the Malabar Scholarship 2025, specially for girls like you who scored well in Class 10 but can’t afford higher studies.
This is a one-time scholarship that can really ease your burden of school/college expenses, like tuition, books, or even exam fees. In this post, I’ve shared everything you need to know, from eligibility to how you can apply online before the last date.
What is the Malabar Scholarship 2025?
This scholarship is an initiative by Malabar Charitable Trust. The aim is to support girls from low-income families who want to study in higher secondary (Class 11-12) or go for a college degree.
It’s not just about money—it’s about giving you the confidence that someone believes in your potential.
Who Can Apply?
Now let me quickly tell you the basic eligibility. You should:
-
Be a female student.
-
Currently studying in a government or aided school/college.
-
Enrolled in a full-time course (Class 11-12 or undergraduate degree).
-
Have scored minimum 50% marks in your Class 10 board exam.
-
Belong to a financially weak family (preference is given to SC, ST, OBC, and EWS categories).
-
Not be doing any distance/correspondence course.
-
And yes, the better your marks and the lower your family income, the better your chances.
How Much Money Will You Get?
If your application is selected, you can get up to ₹10,000 as a one-time grant. This is not yearly—it’s just for one academic year. But still, for many, it’s a huge relief and can cover quite a lot of expenses.
