Is a scholarship given in IIIT Una to the general category on the basis of family income?

DC
Debrup Roy Chowdhury Posted On : July 6th, 2021
Electronics and Instrumentation at IIIT Bangalore 2022

One of my friends is a part of the institute and can put it in a better way. You might have been confused between the scholarship provided by the institute and the state scholarship.

He however has less information about states other than Uttar Pradesh, and for learning more about it, you should visit the main webpage of the institute and have the latest information.

There is a provision of an online scholarship portal for residents of Uttar Pradesh who are at present pursuing their courses outside the state. You can register on the portal typically by filing certain crucial details, your family income certificate and other essential documents as and when asked, in the IIIT Una administration, along with the printed form.

You can also connect with the seniors currently studying there, to get a proper insight into it.

What do I need to get admission into University of Alberta and also get a scholarship?

RK
Riya Kapoor Posted On : January 11th, 2021
Studied at the University of Alberta (2018)

If you do some research, you’ll find that University of Alberta has an easy-seeming acceptance rate of 51% . But here’s the catch, this rate varies with your program choice and many other things that you should keep in mind. Acceptance rate here varies with subjects, some courses are easy to get into while some have cutthroat competition. 

Like all major universities, the enrollment here heavily depends upon splendid grades, test scores and completion of required subjects. Plus, if you’re an international student then you will need to be extra special so that they have a good reason to take you in.

Deciding Factors For Admission:

  • Factors like research projects and publications play a huge role
  • Impressive SOPs and genuine LORs are very important to stand out 
  • GPA: Im Fall 2018, 70% of the students entering Faculty of Science had a grade average of 85 and higher
  • English Proficiency: TOEFL iBT score of 100+ with a minimum 20 in each subsequent section is recommended
  • A GRE score of 315 and above is just next to excellent. (For PG admissions)
  • 155+ in the quantitative section of the GRE and a 4.0 in analytical ensures that you make up for any loopholes in your application

Scholarships for Internationals: 

While Alberta has plenty of scholarships, they are not all available to international students. The university provides many merit-based scholarships to accomplished internationals which will make your competition tougher. 

Scholarships are of different kinds and usually have different requirements. You will need an application for some of these. Mostly, these are merit and talent based and there’s cutthroat competition for these so you need to prepare really well to be eligible for these. 

Around 17,130 students received 87 million CAD worth of scholarships in 2017. Interests and previous experiences are an important deciding factor in the awarding of these scholarships so make sure you prepare accordingly.

How’s financial aid for international students at Northeastern University?

RD
Rahul Desai Posted On : February 3rd, 2021
Studied at Northeastern University

You should try to learn about the financial aid for undergraduate as well as graduate students as both of these have different types of grants, scholarships and requirements. Since international students are unable to qualify for US federal loans, they have to pay up more but they can ease off their burden by doing part time work by making some money. 

Students placed in the top 10%-15% of Northeastern University’s pool are given preference for competitive merit awards which is between $10000 and $25000. As an international, you wont have many funding opportunities. You can get financial relief through mostly these:

  • As a University Scholar
  • Need-based scholarships based on expected family contribution
  • External Scholarships
  • Merit and Talent based scholarships

If you enter as a university scholar, then you can get your entire tuition waived and you only have to incur costs on room, board and other personal expenses. For this, you should have an outstanding academic record in order to be selected. Ofcourse, this will be another challenge to be their top candidate in order to enter the college as a university scholar.

If your expected family contribution(EPF) is less than the actual tuition fees, then you may be awarded a scholarship or a grant which will help him cover up the remaining tuition. However, the EPF amount is low and there is no guarantee that the rest of your fees will be covered. You can get $5k- $15k in grant award for tuition.

As an International student, you may find it difficult to avail scholarships unless you have an excellent SAT/ACT score with an impressive extracurricular profile. You should work hard on making a good profile to stand a chance to win these scholarships. Students with good extracurricular activities get recommendations and get their fees waived off or whatever scholarships they have won.

You should contact the college regarding this in order to have better insights and options.

Will I get any scholarship in BIET, Jhansi?

SG
Shalini Gupta Posted On : February 19th, 2021
Studied at Bundelkhand Institute Of Engineering And Technology (2018)

This actually depends on a number of factors. Normally, UP government colleges work on the principle of merit. So, if you have scored considerably high marks your chances of getting a scholarship invariably increases. Moreover, if you are from a financially weak family background, there are scholarships specially meant for candidates like you. Once you submit your family’s income certificates and other related documents, you are eligible for the scholarship. Before this, scholarships were often provided to students with names starting with the letter “A.”

The thing about getting a scholarship at BIET is that you are required to submit the fees at the starting of every year, which will later be refunded to your bank account by Samaj Kalyan Vibhag. Please note that all the scholarships being mentioned here, is only applicable to the tuition fees.

There is an option for candidates originating from UP, coming from poor family backgrounds that you can claim all your fees refunded by the end of the semester.

Some of the basic criteria to fill out the scholarship form at BIET are:

  • Your father must not be a government service employee
  • The total family’s income should be less than 4 lacs annually
  • You should not be having any scholarship under your name from any other institute

If you are successful in fulfilling all the above explained criteria, you are eligible for a handsome sum of Rs. 60,000 approximately. Do not miss the chance to fill out the scholarship form before the deadline for the same.
