FAQ on Aspire Leaders Program Scholarship
1. What would be the standard time for the sessions in India?
Sessions are a combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning. Module 2 faculty master classes are going to be morning est/evening IST. Exact time will be decided. Other self organized peer session times will be mutually decided by the small pods (8-10 students from around the world).
2. Which days would the session be conducted on?
Module 1 and 3 are self paced. Synchronous sessions for module 2 will be conducted between Monday-Friday and students get to pick which session they are likely to attend. Synchronous session times will be mutually decided by the small pods (8-10 students from around the world).
3. How many students would be attending each session?
We are anticipating each cohort to have approx 30k students, these students will be put into groups of 100 to discuss the content in each module. They will then self select into pods of 10 to work on assignments.
4. Would the teams remain the same throughout the modules?
The group of 100 would be the same, however, students always have the option to switch their pods.
5. What would the partners get out of it?
We are looking at collaborating and partnering with Universities and NGOs/Foundations if we can expect a steady stream of application from them year on year for ALP for a large pool of students.
