NEW DELHI, July 17, 2024 — Deakin University has awarded the Vice-Chancellor’s Meritorious 100% Scholarship to 10 Indian students after an extensive search for deserving students in India.
Ten deserving students, including Vishrut Goswami, Aditi Mishra, Tamanna Kalra, Tia Kapoor, Tanvir Kaur Sohi, Tisha Vyas, Hasnain Reza Bilal, Mathanki, and Aarav Verma, have been honored with full-fee scholarships valued at over INR 6 million each. This substantial financial support will enable these students to pursue their academic aspirations. The winners were announced during an exclusive episode of Leaders of Tomorrow, a program developed in partnership with Deakin University and broadcast on Times Now and Mirror Now.
Now in its eleventh year, the scholarship program is part of Deakin’s ‘Transforming Lives’ initiative. It demonstrates the University’s commitment to strengthening ties with India and providing Indian students access to a world-class education. To date, 66 exceptional Indian scholars have benefited from the program.
Professor Iain Martin, President and Vice-Chancellor of Deakin University, congratulated the recipients on their remarkable achievements.
“Congratulations to the 2024 recipients for their outstanding efforts. For over three decades, Deakin University’s commitment to India and its students has gone from strength to strength, culminating in the most recent opening of our GIFT City campus earlier this year. Our approach has always been ‘in India, with India, for India,’ and as our University prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2024, we acknowledge how vital this partnership has been to our growth and success,” Professor Martin said.
The Vice-Chancellor’s Meritorious 100% Scholarship is a transformative program that offers full tuition fee support and the chance to participate in the Vice-Chancellor’s Professional Excellence Program. This comprehensive approach includes workshops, development meetings, and academic mentorship, empowering scholars to succeed in their careers and make a lasting impact on their local and global communities.
The parents of the scholarship recipients expressed their pride and gratitude. One of the scholarship awardee’s father said, “It is indeed a proud moment for us as parents. When we stand on this prestigious university platform with our child, there is nothing more we could ask for.”
