Implementing Partner: LBEF College
The Scholarships will be awarded to study B.Sc.(Hons.) in Information Technology at LBEF College. Students who have completed 10+2 or equivalent from recognized board or Diploma in Computer Engineering from CTEVT will be benefited with this scheme. Students who have appeared for 10+2 or equivalent examination can also apply. Girl students will be most benefited by this scheme and the reason to do so is to further the educational opportunities of young women of future generations.
Scope
The objective of the scheme is to award scholarships to meritorious students belonging to economically weaker sections of the community so as to provide them better opportunities for higher education, increase their rate of attainment in higher education and enhance their employability. Employment in computer-related occupations has seen significant growth in recent years; however, the representation of women in the computer science professions has continued to decline since the 1990's. One of the possible step to reverse the trend is to encourage more female students to undertake computer science. With this objective we are planning to introduce National ICT scholarships to females and weaker sections of the society.
