Scholarships
Hundred Indian women have been awarded British Council 70th Anniversary Scholarships to mark the organisation’s 70th anniversary in India. The 70th Anniversary Scholarships, which are the first British Council scholarship programme solely for women, cover tuition fees for a one-year Masters course in science, technology, engineering or mathematics during the 2018-19 academic year. The scholars attended an award ceremony at the British Council in the Capital recently.
The 100 scholars will be attending 44 British universities in all corners of the country, including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The UK is a global leader in quality research and the scholarships will offer the women the chance to work in world-class research environments and collaborate in international research teams.
