The Cultural Talent Search Scholarship Scheme is implemented at the national level. There are hundreds of
art forms practised in our country. Since the number of scholarships available are limited, only exceptionally
talented and outstanding students need to apply
NATURE OF SCHOLARSHIP
Subject to availability of funds, the total number of fresh scholarships to be awarded every year will be 520, of which 125 may be reserved for children of families practicing traditional performing arts etc. and 20 for
Specially Challenged children. The remaining 375 scholarships will be treated as general scholarships.
The talented children in the age group of 10 to 14 years (as per the cut off eligibility dates), studying in the
recognized schools will be eligible to apply under the Scheme. In exceptional cases, the lower age limit can
be relaxed up to two years. In the case of children of families practicing traditional performing arts, the
condition regarding attendance of school for academic education will not be imposed at the time of
application. But in the event of their selection, they must attend a school for academic education and their
scholarship will be released only on submission of a proper certificate from the Head of the School.
The children whose parent's/guardian's total monthly income is less than ` 6000/- only (Rupees Six Thousand
Only) per month will be given preference for the award of scholarship. However, the criteria of talent and
potential will be taken into consideration for all the candidates.

beyond Higher Secondary stage, but wishing to continue their training in the respective cultural fields in which
