Under this BHU scholarship scheme, foreign students will receive Rs 6000 per month, which will be renewed annually on the basis of satisfactory performance.
Banaras Hindu University, an Institution of Eminence under the IoE initiative of the Education Ministry, Government of India, has introduced a new scholarship scheme to promote and motivate international students. The scheme "Scholarship to International Students", also aims at attracting overseas students through this programme.
Under the programme, foreign students will receive Rs 6000 per month, which will be renewed annually on the basis of satisfactory performance.
In case a student is already getting a scholarship of lower value, he/she will be entitled to receive the difference.
The decision to launch "Scholarship to International Students" was taken in the meeting of Governing Body of Institution of Eminence, BHU, under the chairmanship of Vice-Chancellor Prof. Sudhir K Jain.
