minhaty.ma: applying for a university scholarship and tracking your file
Want to apply for a university scholarship but do not know where to start, or waiting on a payment that has not arrived? minhaty.ma is the only official portal for this. This guide covers the whole procedure: creating the account, documents, bank details, tracking, payment, renewal, and the mistakes that cost a full year without support.
What is the minhaty platform?
minhaty is the official electronic portal for applying for a university scholarship in Morocco. Its address is minhaty.ma, and every student seeking a scholarship must go through it — in most cases there is no parallel paper procedure.
Before minhaty, applications were paper files submitted to the institution or the prefecture: slow and hard to track. The platform changed that — a single electronic application, direct tracking of the file's status, and a notification when the decision comes.
A university scholarship is neither a loan nor general social assistance: it is financial support for students enrolled in higher education, awarded on social, economic and academic criteria.
Who can apply?
- Being enrolled in a higher-education institution: public university, school, institute or accredited body
- Moroccan nationality
- The social and economic criterion: family income is the decisive element in selection
- Continuity of study: passing and moving up a level conditions renewal
- Not holding another scholarship: combining two is generally not allowed
The levels covered include the licence, the master's and certain other routes. Precise conditions are set by the annual procedure: read the official announcement before applying on minhaty.ma.
Applying step by step
1. Reaching the platform
Go to minhaty.ma from an up-to-date browser. Avoid links received through messaging apps: imitation sites circulate and harvest data.
2. Creating the account
You need your national ID number, your Massar Code or university registration number (Apogée), and an active e-mail address. All minhaty notifications go there.
3. Personal and academic details
Full name, date of birth, address, institution, level and field. Accuracy matters: any mismatch with official documents stalls the file.
4. Social and economic details
This is the decisive step, because the decision rests on it: parents' occupation, income, household size and number of siblings in education.
5. Bank details
A bank account number in the student's name. An account in a parent's name blocks payment.
6. Uploading documents
Scan the required documents and respect the format and size limits.
7. Confirming and printing the receipt
Confirm definitively and print the submission receipt. Without it there is no proof the application was filed on minhaty.ma.
Required documents
| Document | Why | Note |
|---|---|---|
| National ID card | Proof of identity | Both sides, legible |
| University enrolment certificate | Proof of student status | From the institution, for the current year |
| Baccalaureate grade report | Academic criterion | For new entrants |
| Proof of income | Economic criterion | Depending on the parents' situation |
| Residence certificate | Determining the area | Issued by the local authority |
| Bank details in the student's name | Scholarship payment | Must be in the student's name |
The exact list can change from year to year. Check it in the official announcement on minhaty.ma before you begin.
Tracking the application
The minhaty application tracking feature is the platform's most used service. After submission you can check your file's status from your account.
| Status | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Under review | The file is submitted and being processed | Wait without resubmitting |
| Incomplete file | A document is missing or illegible | Upload the requested document within the deadline |
| Accepted | The application succeeded | Check your bank details |
| Rejected | Conditions were not met | Read the stated reason |
Advice: sign in at least once a week during processing. The 'incomplete file' status carries a short deadline, and once it passes the file closes.
Scholarship payment
The scholarship is paid in instalments across the academic year, into the bank account declared on minhaty.ma.
A delayed payment usually comes down to one of these:
- Wrong bank details or an account in someone else's name: the leading cause of delay
- Enrolment certificate not renewed: the scholarship is tied to actual enrolment
- A closed or dormant bank account
- Incomplete data in the file
If payment is late, first check the file status on minhaty, then contact the relevant office at your institution.
Annual renewal
The scholarship is not permanent. Each year the application must be renewed on minhaty.ma, under two conditions:
- Passing and moving up a level: repeated failure ends the entitlement
- The social situation continuing: any change must be declared
The common mistake: assuming the scholarship renews automatically and missing the deadline. The result is a full year without support.
Mistakes that lose the scholarship
- Applying on the last day: the platform is saturated and a technical hitch costs you the year
- Bank details in a parent's name: the account must be in the student's name
- Illegible documents: a dark or cropped photo makes the file 'incomplete'
- Not tracking the file: the correction window is short
- Imprecise social data: an inaccurate declaration risks rejection
- Forgetting to renew: a new application every year
- Using an intermediary: the procedure is simple and can be done alone
Frequently asked questions
What is the minhaty platform?
minhaty.ma is the official electronic portal for applying for a university scholarship in Morocco. Every student seeking one must apply there, and the service is entirely free.
How do I track my minhaty application?
Sign in to your account on minhaty.ma and check the file status: under review, incomplete, accepted or rejected. Check at least weekly, since the correction window is short.
Which documents are required?
National ID card, university enrolment certificate, baccalaureate grade report, proof of income, residence certificate and bank details in the student's name. The exact list is published each year.
Why is my scholarship late?
The most frequent causes: wrong bank details or an account in someone else's name, an unrenewed enrolment certificate, a dormant bank account, or incomplete data. Check the file status first.
Do I have to reapply every year?
Yes. The scholarship does not renew automatically. You must reapply each year on minhaty.ma, and renewal depends on passing and moving up a level.
Can I use my father's bank account?
No. The account must be in the student's own name. Bank details in a parent's name are among the leading causes of payment delay.
