The government reduced the scholarship amount to Rs.35,000 in 2013-14.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/ap-fee-reimbursement-capped-at-rs-31000-for-bc-ebcs/279628-62-127.html |title=AP: Fee reimbursement capped at Rs 31,000 for BC, EBCs (archive) |website=[[CNN-News18|IBN Live]]|publisher=[[Network18 Group]] |date=2012-08-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140316181834/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/ap-fee-reimbursement-capped-at-rs-31000-for-bc-ebcs/279628-62-127.html |access-date=2014-03-16|url-status=dead |archive-date=16 March 2014 }}</ref> After the separation of [[Telangana]] from [[Andhra Pradesh]], the fee reimbursement became a bone of contention between the two states.
