Oasis Scholarship Portal 2025 – Apply Online & Check Status

The Oasis Scholarship Portal is a centralized digital platform launched by the Backward Classes Welfare Department, Government of West Bengal. It is designed to provide state-funded scholarships to students from Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Other Backward Class (OBC) categories. For the academic year 2025-26, the registration process has opened, allowing eligible students to apply online and track their application status easily. 

This portal ensures transparency, timely fund disbursement and smooth institutional verification. From my experience, such unified systems reduce confusion and delays, making it easier for students to focus on their education rather than paperwork.
