Scholarship Programme For Professional Higher Education :

Expensive professional higher education has become unaffordable for the economically vulnerable. The difference in fees in government aided and unaided institutions has become enormous.

Since the past two decades, the Government has withdrawn from it’s role in mainstream professional and higher education by not setting up institutions of it’s own but giving permissions for un-aided institutions, which then function in a self-financing mode. Students getting admissions through Government merit lists in unaided institutions also have to pay fees as decided by the management of the institutions since the past few years.

Since 2004, RF(I)T has been supporting needy students from Mumbai who have secured admissions to professional colleges on merit, but are unable to pay for education and related costs.

We follow a system of:
** Pre-screening: Base interview and document check to decide if a form is to be issued.
** The form has components for the socio-economic profile of the family, educational record since SSC or equivalent and competitive entrance exams, proof of admission and fee structure, collective responsibility at the applicant’s level in the form of two references and two recommenders.
** This is followed by a home visit and cross referencing.
** Based on the above, a final interview is conducted to decide the nature and amount of assistance.

Criteria for Scholarship applicants:
** S.S.C., H.S.C. and CET Percentage should be a minimum of 70%.
** Institutions and courses should be recognized and affiliated to established Universities / have Government recognition.
** Annual fees should be more than Rs.20,000.
** Courses eligible for scholarship should be professional Degree courses. Diplomas will be considered only for courses where degree courses are not available or in the case of post graduate Diplomas.
** Social work education (BSW and MSW) and students with disabilities form a separate category of support.
** RF(I)T’s contribution goes directly to the Educational Institution.
** In borderline cases or change of medium form vernacular to English SSC+ HSC+CET average of 70% is considered.
** Students applying in the second year or later will have to fulfill the above criteria and should not have ATKTs in any subject.
** Foreign study is not supported.
