"Jubilee Scholarships" to be awarded in India for one-year masters
course in Britain, a statement said.
Funded by the British Council and the British government, the
scholarships have been launched as part of the celebrations for Queen
Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee. The aim is to enable exceptional
talent from across India to come and study masters courses in
business, administration, manufacturing, science or technology.
"We're delighted that we're able to offer this opportunity for sixty
Indian scholars to study in the UK. A scholarship is a fitting way to
mark the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee, as it is the creation of new
opportunity - not just for the student, but for the host institution
to benefit from Indian perspectives and ideas, for new friendships to
be made and new links to be created and fostered between our two
countries," said Rob Lynes, the British Council's director in India.
The awards will be open to applicants from all over India, and the
scheme aims to include students from every Indian state among the
awardees. Each award will cover university tuition fee, living
expenses for the duration of the scholarship (maximum 12 months), a
month-long internship in the Britain, return airfare and a British
visa.
The last date to apply online is April 30. Further details are
available on the British Council's website. IANS
