The J.N.Tata Endowment Scholarships 2008-2009
JN Tata Endowment - For the Higher Education Of Indians
The JN Tata Endowment was set up in 1892 by the founder of the Tata
group, Jamsetji N Tata, to encourage young people to take up higher
studies at some of the best universities in the world. It is the first
Tata benefaction in the field of education, and possibly the first of
its kind in Asia.
For the past 116 years the Endowment has been helping scholars of merit
to realize their dreams of a world class education through its loan
scholarship program. The scholarships are awarded for higher studies
abroad in all disciplines and subjects. Annually, the Endowment selects
around 120 meritorious scholars through a rigorous selection process,
for the award of the prestigious JN Tata Endowment scholarships for
higher studies abroad. Over the years several JN Tata scholars have
distinguished themselves in various walks of life.
The Endowment awards only loan scholarships. However, the selected
scholars may also qualify for a gift award. The amount to be awarded to
each scholar by way of loan and gift scholarship is determined on the
basis of norms laid down for the purpose, and ranges from Rs 0.1 million
(1 lakh) to Rs 0.4 million (4 lakhs)
Applications are invited from Indian nationals for the J. N. TATA
