Scholarship Fund for Students of MEC from XSA - Sat Apr 17, 2010

Dear Friends

It is with immense pleasure that we would like to share the happy news that XMEC Social Assist now has a bank account of its own. You would already have known that XMEC Social Assist is a registered society. Given that the council members were spread out across the globe, it took us some time to have the account opened. This gives us a better official status among the alumni and external organizations (college, etc)

It also gives us the opportunity to initiate the Scholarship fund for the students of the college. We are working with Principle and staff to roll this out from the next academic year (2010 – 11). The plan is to start with scholarship for 5 students with an amount of Rs 20,000/- each. Towards this a quantum of Rs 1,00,000/- would be required during the year.

Creating a scholarship fund for the students of our alumni has been a dream of many of us out there in the corporate world. Hence let us take this initiative as the starting point for the road ahead. Some salient points on the scholarship for the current year:

-         The students would be selected among the ones from 2^nd to 4^th year (so as not to lose out on any deserving student).

-         The quantum of the scholarship is Rs 20,000/- per student

-         The scholarship would be given annually till completion of course

-         Any excess funds received would be put into fixed deposit for next year’s scholarship

-         The guidelines for student selection would be determined between XSA and the college

-         From next year, students of year 2 would be selected for the scholarship

It would be great if any of you individually / as a group / as a batch would want to sponsor full or partial scholarships. If you are interested, please drop me a mail (george.c.kuriakose@...) and we can take it forward
