The Higher Education fund
has been instituted with the view to promoting the
students of the Diocese, especially the poor, to pursue
higher education. The initiative was taken against the
backdrop of the rocketing expenses of higher education.
The objective of such an initiative is to prevent the
situation in which many of our brilliant students have had
to drop their dreams of higher education owing to the
scarcity of funds. The Administration of the Fund will be
managed by Vidya Jyothi Public Charitable Trust that came
into existence on 19th December 2013.
The Higher
Education Fund has two parts:
(i) Scholarship
Fund - The Scholarship Fund would be mobilized with the
help of generous benefactors and by reducing the
expenditures on celebrations.
(ii) Deposit
Scheme- Deposit Scheme is the amount deposited on a weekly
basis by each student for his/her education. The amount
deposited thus will be returned to them with interest for
their higher education. Moreover, the students who have
membership in the Deposit Scheme will be given a certain
amount as scholarship from the Scholarship Fund. |
