INSPIRE-SHE (Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research — Scholarship for Higher Education) is a Department of Science & Technology, Government of India scheme for students pursuing natural and basic sciences at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. The scholarship pays Rs. 80,000 per year for up to 5 years.
Note for engineering aspirants: SHE is for B.Sc., M.Sc., and integrated science degrees only. Engineering and applied-technology degrees (B.Tech, B.E.) are NOT eligible. We include this entry so students considering BSc routes (e.g., IISER, NISER, central universities) know it exists. If you are sure about engineering, see PMSSS, AICTE Pragati, or the Reliance Foundation scholarship instead.
