Education shapes society and gives it forward motion. The importance of education cannot be stressed enough, as it lays the groundwork for future careers and helps one get closer to their goals.
Established by the Ministry of Minority Affairs, MOMA Scholarship is an initiative to promote education among students belonging to the minority communities in India. The scheme is applicable for pre- and post-matriculation and merit-cum-means scholarships for both professional and technical courses.
Additionally, the Government of India plans to disburse 30 lakh scholarships under the pre-matric scholarship scheme, 5 lakh scholarship awards under the post-matric scholarship scheme, and 60,000 scholarships under merit-plus-means scholarships for graduate or postgraduate courses in technical or professional fields.
