The Office of the Commissioner, Backward Classes and Minority Welfare, Madhya Pradesh, has invited online applications from eligible candidates under the Madhya Pradesh Backward Classes Foreign Study Scholarship Scheme for the academic year 2026-27. Candidates will be selected according to the eligibility criteria and provisions laid down in the scheme.

Interested and eligible candidates can apply online on the department's portal, https://mpom.mp.gov.in. Eligibility, required documents, the application procedure and other details are given in the notice available on the portal.

Selection will be held in two phases. Applications received within one month of the date the notice was issued will be included in the first phase, and the selection process will begin with them.
