The Sakal India Foundation, Pune, has decided to offer - on an all-India basis - about 50 interest-free loan scholarships, each worth Rs 40,000, to Indian students proposing to pursue post-graduate studies abroad, or research studies leading to Ph.D in India.
The Foundation, which has marked 50 years of promoting excellence in education, has invited applications from eligible Indian students for the purpose. The loans are to be repaid in two years. In order to be eligible for the loan scholarship, the applicant must have secured admission for a post-graduate degree - in any foreign university - for academic study of not less than one year's duration, for the academic year 2011-2012, or must have a valid registration for doing research - leading to Ph.D in a statutory university, national institute or institution, of equivalent standing in India, two years previous to the date of application, for the interest-free loan scholarship. A scholarship of Rs 10,000 (non-refundable), will also be awarded to a deserving student, for pursuing post-graduate studies in journalism, satisfying the above pre-conditions in India or abroad.
