Why we exist
India offers hundreds of scholarships, fellowships, education loans, and research grants for students. Yet every year, a large share goes unclaimed - not because students aren’t eligible, but because the information is scattered, written in jargon, and hard to navigate.
We built CheckMyEligibility to close that gap. Describe your situation in plain words, and we help you understand which scholarships, fellowships, or loans may fit, what documents you’ll need, and exactly where to apply on the official government portal.
We don’t replace the government. We make it easier to reach - so the support that’s meant for you actually reaches you.
What we value
The principles we build on
Clarity over complexity
We translate dense rules into plain language so anyone can understand what they qualify for.
Trust and privacy
No login, minimal data, and we never collect your Aadhaar, bank details, or documents.
Empowerment, not gatekeeping
We point you to official portals and let you apply yourself. Your benefits are your right.
Honest and accurate
We work to keep details correct and always ask you to confirm on the official portal.
Human-verified data
Every scheme is manually reviewed by a trained team against the official government portal before it appears here.
The project
Open source, student-built
CheckMyEligibility is funded and supported by the Department of Data Science, Loyola College, Chennai. A team of 18 students - validators and developers - built the platform and manually reviewed every scheme against official government portals to ensure accuracy.
The source code is open to the public under the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0 - free for personal, educational, and research use. Anyone can read it, audit it, or contribute.
We are independent
CheckMyEligibility is an independent guide and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any government body. We help you find schemes and direct you to official portals - we never submit applications on your behalf.
