HDFC Bank Scholarships 2017
'ECSS'- Educational Crisis Scholarship Support
OVERVIEW
HDFC Bank believes that the benefits of economic growth need to flow
to all sections of society. Although not a panacea, education would be
one of the main interventions that would lead to the overall economic
and social development of the society. With the aim of empowering
individuals who are economically and socially disadvantaged, the bank
has initiated various projects in the field of education and livelihood
training. 'Educational Crisis Scholarship Support' (ECSS) programme is
envisaged to provide interim support for children facing a
personal/economic exigency.
ABOUT ECSS
Economic hardship or a crisis in the family sometimes has a direct
impact on the education of children, often resulting in the child
dropping out of school/college/university. ECSS has been conceptualized
to provide assistance to these students, to tide over a difficult
situation/Personal/Family Crisis without adverse impact on their
education.
THE SCHOLARSHIP
ECSS aims to cover students from recognized Private or Government
aided schools between standards 6 and 12 and students studying in
undergraduate and post-graduate courses (full-time/part-time
degree/diploma/ courses) who due to personal/family crises are unable to
continue bearing the cost of education and are at risk of dropping out
of school/college/university. This situation would be defined as
bereavement/death/ terminal illness/permanent disability and loss of job
of the breadwinner due to accident or any such extreme circumstances
that have put a strain on the family resources. The Scholarship will
cover the total annual School Fee upto a maximum of Rs.10,000/- and
College/University Fee upto a maximum of Rs.25,000/- of the selected
candidates.
