TOEFL® Scholar Programme has been introduced by Educational Testing Service (ETS) for Indians, which includes three $10,000 scholarships for the U.K., U.S., and Canada and four $5000 scholarships to any of these three countries. Students taking admissions in postgraduate programs in 2010 are eligible to be a part of this programme.
ETS’s expert panel will finalise the list on the basis of TOEFL scores, academic records, extracurricular activities, analytical skills and innovative ideas.
Qualifications
Applicants must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- Be an undergraduate or graduate student currently living in India who will begin postgraduate study in the U.K., U.S. or Canada in 2010
- Have an overall grade percentage of 60 or above
- Demonstrate English proficiency with your TOEFL scores
An integral part of the application procedure is a 2000-word essay on the following topic: “Since Independence it has been India’s dream to ensure all children are enrolled in primary schools. However, drop-out levels are high despite all efforts. What new initiative would you recommend to ensure minimal schooling, and how would you implement it? Explain why your recommended initiative will be perceived as relevant by Indian society and why it will be effective.”
