Minority Scholarships in India. April 22, 2021 Education is an essential tool for everyone that provides knowledge and reduces the illiteracy rate. Many students across the nation dream of having proper education and succeed in life but cannot do so due to financial and societal restraints. Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, the first Vice President and second President of Independent India, said that Teachers must be the best minds in the country.
Keeping true to the great words of one of our yesteryear’s leaders and abiding by them, Vodafone Idea Foundation - the CSR arm of VI, is looking to offer students and teachers financial assistance to help them continue their journey down the path of education.
General Scholarship Schemes Merit-cum-means based scholarships are offered to students belonging to minority communities in India. Few private organisations like Vodafone Idea Foundation are encouraging students and teachers to avail these financial aids. Based on the economic and caste-based backgrounds, these scholarships are available for teachers and students across the country. They are further segmented based on the prerequisites such as class, medium of education, state etc.
Student Scholarships MOMA scholarships allow the students to have a hindrance free educational experience. They are mainly merit-based and caste-based scholarships. Caste-based scholarships are those which offer a student financial support based on their caste background and income status.
The students are also eligible to avail free scholarships in India, based on the merit at schooling, college, PG, or PhD levels. For this, the student must maintain a certain level of merit at their institution as proof of the desire to learn and succeed.
