Good news for Haryana’s science students
The Haryana State Council for Science, Innovation and Technology (HSCSIT) has announced the application dates for the POSE Scholarship 2026-27. Applications open on Thursday, 12 November 2026, and the last date to apply is Tuesday, 12 January 2027. Applications are accepted online only, through the Har-Chhatravratti portal. Selected students receive a scholarship of Rs 4,000 to Rs 6,000 a month.
POSE stands for Promotion of Science Education. The scheme supports meritorious students who take up basic and natural sciences after school, so that money never becomes the reason a talented science student gives up higher studies.
