Every year, thousands of families in Beawar ask the same question: How do I give my daughter the best education without breaking the bank? The good news is that both the Government of Rajasthan and the Central Government have created powerful scholarship schemes specifically for girl students — many of which go unclaimed simply because parents do not know they exist.
This guide covers every major scholarship available to girl students in Beawar in 2026 — who qualifies, how much is awarded, and how to apply. It also explains how PRJ Gyanjaya School, Beawar's leading CBSE day-cum-boarding school, helps girl students access these benefits from the very day they enrol.
Why Girl Child Education in Beawar Needs a Strong Push
Beawar sits at a crossroads. It is one of Rajasthan's most active commercial towns — a city with ambition. Yet across Ajmer district and the broader state, girl students continue to face a dropout challenge that scholarship programmes are specifically designed to fight.
According to the Rajasthan government's Balika Shiksha Foundation, over 2.5 lakh girl students have received financial assistance under state schemes since the programmes began. That number, while encouraging, also signals how large the need actually is. For families in Beawar, the right school combined with the right scholarship can be the single most impactful decision a parent makes for a daughter.
The combination of a supportive school environment and active government funding means that a girl's education in Beawar does not have to be expensive. What it does require is the right information — and a school that treats scholarship support as part of its core responsibility to students.
Rajasthan Government Scholarships for Girl Students in 2026
The Government of Rajasthan, through its Balika Shiksha Foundation and the Social Justice and Empowerment Department (SJED), runs several direct financial support schemes for girl students. Here are the most important ones a Beawar family should know about.

The Gargi Puraskar Yojana provides ₹3,000 to any girl who scores 75% or more in her Class 10 board examinations and continues into Class 11. A second instalment of ₹3,000 is released when she progresses to Class 12. The award is given every year on Basant Panchami.

RTE Act — How to Claim a Free Seat in a Private School in Beawar
Under the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, every private school in Rajasthan must reserve 25% of its entry-level seats for students from economically weaker sections (EWS), BPL families, SC, ST, OBC, and other notified disadvantaged groups. This means a girl child from an eligible family can study at a private CBSE school in Beawar — entirely free of charge — under the RTE quota.
The Rajasthan RTE Admission 2026 process is managed digitally by the state education department. Here is how it works:
Check eligibility: The child must be a resident of Rajasthan. The family must fall within the income limits set for EWS/disadvantaged categories.
Gather documents: Income certificate, caste certificate (if applicable), birth certificate, Aadhaar card, residence proof, and passport-sized photographs.
Apply online: Visit the official Rajasthan RTE portal and submit the application during the designated window (typically February–March each year).
Lottery result: Seats are allotted via a transparent lottery system. Results are published on the portal.
Report to school: Once allotted, report to the school within the deadline (typically within 7–10 days of the result) with original documents for verification.
Parents in Beawar should monitor the official Shala Darpan Portal and the Rajasthan school education website for the exact application window each year. For the 2026–27 session, the RTE lottery result was published in March 2026.
How to Apply for These Scholarships — Step-by-Step
Most Rajasthan and Central Government scholarships are now fully digital. Here is how to navigate the two main application systems used by girl students in Beawar.
Applying via Shala Darpan Portal (for Rajasthan State Schemes)
The Shala Darpan Portal (rajshaladarpan.nic.in) is the unified platform for all Rajasthan Balika Shiksha Foundation schemes — including Gargi Puraskar, Balika Protsahan Puraskar, and Indira Priyadarshini Puraskar.
Visit rajshaladarpan.nic.in and navigate to the Balika Shiksha Protsahan tab.
Select the relevant scheme (e.g., Gargi Puraskar Class 10 — First Instalment).
Fill in personal details, school details, bank account information (for DBT), and Class 10 examination details.
Upload required documents: mark sheet, Aadhaar card, bank passbook copy, school certificate.
Submit the form. Your school principal will verify and forward the application to the Balika Shiksha Foundation.
Track status through the portal or by contacting your District Education Officer.
Applying via National Scholarship Portal (for Central Schemes)
AICTE Pragati, CBSE Single Girl Child, and UGC Indira Gandhi scholarships are applied for through the National Scholarship Portal (scholarships.gov.in).
Register at scholarships.gov.in using your Aadhaar number.
Log in and select the relevant scholarship from the scheme list.
Complete the application form with academic details, Aadhaar, income certificate, admission proof, and bank account details.
Submit and note the application ID for tracking.
Your institution verifies and forwards the application. Funds are transferred via DBT directly to the bank account.
Documents typically required for both portals: Aadhaar card, mark sheets of qualifying examination, school/college bonafide certificate, income certificate, caste certificate (if applicable), bank passbook copy, and passport-sized photographs. Keep scanned copies of all documents ready before beginning any application.
