The Educational Testing Service (ETS), the organisation behind the TOEFL exam, has announced the launch of the prestigious UK-India Scholarship worth ₹25 lakh. This scholarship initiative is designed to financially support Indian students pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate programs in various fields at UK universities.
According to The Indian Express, a joint effort between ETS TOEFL and several UK universities aims to facilitate the educational aspirations of talented Indian students by easing their financial burden and encouraging academic excellence. The scholarship will be awarded based on academic merit, extracurricular achievements, and financial need, ensuring that deserving students from diverse backgrounds can benefit from this support.
Students interested in applying for the scholarship must have taken the TOEFL exam, as the test scores will be a critical eligibility criterion. The scholarship is open to students applying to various academic programs, and multiple awards will be granted to cover various educational costs. These include tuition fees, living expenses, and travel costs, providing comprehensive financial assistance to successful candidates.
The ETS TOEFL UK-India Scholarship offers more than just financial aid; it is also intended to enhance the employability of Indian students by providing them access to top-tier educational institutions in the UK. Additionally, the program promotes cultural exchange between India and the UK, fostering international connections and collaboration. The scholarship also reflects ETS TOEFL's commitment to empowering Indian students to reach their full academic potential and succeed globally.
Interested students can apply for the scholarship online through the ETS TOEFL website. The application process requires submitting essential documents, including academic transcripts, TOEFL scores, letters of recommendation, and a personal statement detailing the applicant’s educational goals and motivations for studying in the UK. These materials will be carefully reviewed to select recipients demonstrating academic potential and the drive to excel.
The launch of this scholarship underscores ETS TOEFL's role in helping Indian students achieve their global education goals and strengthen their professional prospects in an increasingly interconnected world.
