I’m so thankful
Application for scholarship
I am a 1st sem college student.I have read the objectives and schemes of the scholarship. If i were to give my opinion, i think giving scholarships to students is very good for the students since they’re still learning and they also have to spend alot of money to buy books for better understanding. I would like to apply this scholarship if possible since it feels like i am giving a lesser burden to my family if i were to get it. I am also joining the NCC club, so buying the boots and uniforms cost a lot of money and i still haven’t bought it yet. I also used most of my mom’s saving to buy drilling shoes and books. I kindly want to apply this scholarship hoping to get it. Thank you
Sir what type of document are needed in UGC ishan Uday scholarship scheme?
