National Scholarship Portal (NSP) 2020 has been launched by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India.
The portal is a simplified platform created for students to help them avail benefits of educational scholarships.
The NSP portal is a one-stop solution through which various services starting from student application, application receipt, processing, sanction and disbursal of various scholarships to students are enabled.
NSP is taken as Mission Mode Project under National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) for faster and effective disposal of Scholarships applications and delivery of funds directly into beneficiaries account without any leakages.
Through the portal, students can register and submit their application online for applying scholarship schemes sponsored by the state and central governments.
The students can also track the status of their own application with User ID and Password generated by the system and they can renew their applications with same credential.
