About This Scholarship

Rajashree Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj Fee Reimbursement for Girls is Maharashtra's 100% tuition fee waiver scheme for girl students in professional higher-education courses — a significant enhancement over the parent Shahu EBC scheme (which pays 50%). Announced by Minister Chandrakant Patil in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly on March 14, 2026 alongside the MahaDBT-CAP integration. Impact in AY 2024-25 was already measurable: girls' enrolment in professional courses rose from 85,068 (AY 2023-24) to 115,800 (AY 2024-25) — a 41% jump. Colleges are legally barred from demanding upfront tuition from eligible girls — the state commits to reimburse colleges by August each year. 2026-27 update: Maharashtra is auto-linking MahaDBT scholarships with CAP admission — eligible CAP-admitted students get approval at admission, no separate application, no yearly renewal. See the full guide at scholarshiponline.in/blog/mahadbt-cap-integration-2026-maharashtra-scholarship-guide.
