The SSP Scholarship 2025 is a state-level financial support scheme launched by the Government of Karnataka. SSP stands for State Scholarship Portal, an online platform designed to simplify scholarship applications and distribution. This scholarship supports students from socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds—including SC, ST, OBC, Minority, EWS, and PWD—by covering tuition fees, maintenance costs, and other academic necessities.
