The scholarship scheme, introduced in 2018, supports students from economically weaker sections of the open category who wish to pursue higher education abroad.
Another student said, “Getting selected for the scholarship is a big step towards my academic goal. Studying at an international university will give me exposure to new research methods and a wider academic environment.” The Higher and Technical Education Department announced the selection list on Saturday.
The govt has also laid down conditions for the scholarship. The selected students will be required to complete their chosen course within the stipulated period. No additional financial assistance will be provided if the course extends beyond the approved duration. The scholarship will be subject to verification by the home department. If any student is found to have furnished incorrect information in the application or submitted documents with discrepancies, the scholarship may be cancelled and the amount already disbursed recovered in full. In such cases, the guarantors may also be held responsible.
