At the time of selection for award scholarship, the candidate must have scored at least 60% marks or equivalent grade/grade point in the recent final examination. There will be 5% relaxation for SC/ST.
To avail the scholarship, a child must be a student of a recognized school of India and the concerned school should have a Philately Club. The concerned student should be a member of the Club.
In the case of school Philately Club not being established, a student having his own Philately Deposit Account will also be considered.
Selections under the scheme would be on the basis of evaluation of project work on Philately and performance in Philately Quiz conducted by the Circles.
Selections to the scholarship would be for one year and there would be no bar on an already selected student applying for the scholarship next year provided he/she fulfills other criteria.
