Felix Foundation Scholarship for Students from developing countries (Masters & PhD) UK 2012

The Felix Foundation offers Postgraduate Scholarships 2012 for Students from India and Other Developing Countries, to study in UK

The primary objective of the Felix Scholarship is to stimulate the Felix scholars by exposing them to academic study, cultures, experiences and friendships that they would not otherwise have had the chance to sample. It is hoped that this in turn will endow them with skills and visions, enabling them, when returning to their country of origin, to contribute to the culture and welfare of their home communities. Felix scholarships are offered at three universities - the University of Oxford, the University of Reading and the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), part of the University of London. The Scholarships are awarded on the basis of outstanding academic merit and financial need.

Eligibility:

• 85% of scholarship will be awarded to Indian Students
• The Scholarships are open to:
• Academically gifted and underprivileged nationals of India, under 30 years of age, who must hold at least a first class Bachelor's degree from a recognised Indian university or a comparable institution; or
• Academically gifted and underprivileged non-Indian nationals, under 30 years of age, who must hold at least a first class Bachelor's degree from a recognised university or a comparable institution and who are recommended by their chosen university.
