US to invest $1 million on Indian students

 
The university has committed to provide two full scholarships to undergraduate Indian students joining UC in fall 2011. This opportunity is applicable to two brilliant students who have overcome substantial disadvantages during their educational pursuits.

The university-wide UC Global Scholarship Programme also provides scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $12,000 per year to international undergraduate students. Students are advised that their completed applications should reach the university by 1, December, 2010 for maximum scholarship consideration.

Jonathan Weller, Director of International Admissions said, "UC has always seen significant research contributions by Indian students. We look forward to more contributions and interest from Indian students with the current investment."

The university will partner with a NGO to help identify these two students. Information about this, and other scholarships for Indian undergraduate students, will be available on  www.uc.edu/india by October 1, 2010.

The university has nearly 2,000 international students out of which 650 are Indian. The UC has an extensive network of local representatives throughout India to assist students with the decision making process. They are available to answer questions, assist with applying for admission, and provide detailed information about opportunities for Indian students at UC.
