Aspiring to pursue higher education is a dream for every student. However, for some, it becomes a challenging task due to financial constraints. The National Examination Board (NEB) in Nepal has introduced a scholarship program to provide free +2 education for the students of public schools. This post is all about the NEB scholarship and its eligibility criteria, application process, and benefits.
Eligibility Criteria
The NEB scholarship is only applicable to students who have passed the Secondary Education Examination (SEE) from public schools in Nepal. The scholarship primarily aims to support economically poor students, Dalits, disabled persons, indigenous nationalities, and children of martyrs. The student’s family income must meet the criteria set by NEB, and they must fulfill the following requirements:
- For students who want to pursue Science, the student must have scored a minimum of 2 GPA in their SEE examination.
- For students who want to pursue Management and Humanities, the student must score at least 1.6 GPA in their SEE exam.
Application Process
To apply for the NEB scholarship, students can download the application form from the official NEB website or obtain it from their respective schools. The application form must be filled out with accurate information, and the student must attach the necessary documents, such as a photocopy of their SEE mark sheet and a recommendation letter from the official institution if their surname is unclear.
After submitting the application, candidates are chosen for the scholarship exam based on the merit list. The colleges that offer the +2 program take the NEB scholarship exam. Finally, the students are selected based on their performance in the scholarship exam.
Benefits
The NEB scholarship provides free +2 education for eligible students who may have limited financial resources. It helps to promote equal access to education and supports students who are disadvantaged due to social or economic backgrounds. The scholarship also serves as an incentive for students to perform better in their SEE examinations and strive for higher education.
The NEB scholarship is a great initiative to support students who come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The scholarship provides financial assistance and encourages students to pursue their dreams of higher education. If you meet the eligibility criteria, make sure to apply for the scholarship and increase your chances of receiving it by following the application process and performing well in the scholarship exam.
