The ITI Scholarship 2025 is an initiative by the Government of India to support students from economically weaker backgrounds pursuing ITI (Industrial Training Institute) and other diploma-level technical education. This scholarship program ensures that financial hardship does not become a barrier to completing technical education in India.
Eligible students can apply through the National Scholarship Portal (NSP) to receive financial aid directly into their bank accounts via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
