Educational awards are highly important to recognise the outstanding work done by students. The private and public educational institutions grant awards to talented students so that they are further encouraged to perform well. Just like scholarships, awards are also categorised as per various disciplines. If a student does something extraordinary in any subject then he becomes eligible for an award and that is how he further excels in any particular subjects or field.
Following are some important awards and Olympiads:
Student Loans
The government endeavours to provide primary education to all and sundry on a universal basis, higher education is progressively moving into the domain of private sector. The higher education is getting more and more costly and hence the need for institutional funding is necessary in this area. Therefore, educational loans are an investment for economic development and prosperity. Government of India in consultation with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and Indian Banker's Association (IBA) has framed a Comprehensive Educational Loan Scheme to ensure that no deserving student in the Country is deprived of higher education for want of finances. The new scheme covers all type of courses including professional courses in schools and colleges in India and abroad.
Schemes for Higher Education
Higher Education is the shared responsibility of both the Centre and the States. The coordination and determination of standards in institutions is the constitutional obligation of the Central Government. The Central Government provides grants to UGC and establishes Central Universities in the country. Meritorious students, from families with or without necessary means, need an incentive or encouragement to keep on working hard in their studies and go to the next level of education in their academic career. This is where the scholarships and education loans play a crucial role.
International Scholarships/Fellowships
There are a number of scholarships available for students to pursue higher studies outside India. The Government of India, foreign countries and private institutions offer the international scholarships to academically outstanding students. The Ministry of Human Resource Development, Department of Higher Education administers only those scholarships/fellowships which are being offered by the foreign countries under Cultural Exchange Programmes and other programmes. The subject fields are generally chosen for those subject fields, facilities for which are available in the donor country and also keeping in view the national needs.
