Eligibility

** Scholarships are open to all Indian citizens of either sex who hold a good degree / diploma from a recognised university and are resident in India at the time of application.

** It is essential to have prior admission to the institution and Programme chosen. The Trust will not consider candidates without admission or pending admission. The institutions concerned must only be top rank.

** Candidates must be below 30 years of age on the first of July in the year of application. Preference will be given to candidates who have not yet studied abroad. Candidates who are already studying or have started their program abroad are not eligible.

** The award of other grants, teaching assistantships and support from other sources for the proposed programme will be regarded by the Trust as a positive factor. The Trust also encourages applications from young people currently employed.

How We Decide :
** The Trust has been awarding scholarships to deserving young Indian since 1991. Few other Institutions have during this period, given as many scholarships in as many and such varied fields.

** The key to Trust is flexibility. We look for the unusual, we search out a special talent and we spot people with flair. And once we are convinced that we have found it, we will do everything possible to accommodate a worthy candidate.

** It is perhaps for this reason that a list of Trust alumni reads like a “Who’s Who” of young India.

So what should you be concerned about? :
** Your Achievements, Academic and otherwise. We will need proof that you are an achiever.

** Your potential. We pride ourselves on judging potential as much as performance. It isn’t just what you have already achieved; it’s what we can help you achieve in the future.

** The suitability of your course, project or programme. You must persuade us that the course/ programme is right for you and that you are right for it.

Application & Selection Procedure

** The following process is followed for admission through 4 intakes in a year.
