Students in India are often subjected to the notion of academic performance being the only mode of career excellence. Thought the landmarks and foundations of this misconception have started to shake in the wake of many new career options, but Indian Education system has a long way to go before it realizes that Journalism is not just about walking in khaki pants with a diary or for that matter performing arts is only about dancing at private functions.
Students who wish to excel with their artistic abilities are now being provided with institutional and financial support to continue pursuing their passion. Yet, about two thirds of the 14.8% student minority which is already aware about scholarships and fellowships, is still not acquainted with the fact that scholarships are not only meant for merit based criteria, but also for talent and other qualities as well. Here we introduce to you some of the scholarships running this year provided by various national and international institutions, which can reward the artists just as they deserve. So this summer, don’t let the chance go by and make good use of your talents to win scholarships.
