Guidelines for Student Applicants

RF(I)T’s scholarship programme attempts to provide a helping hand to meritious students as they and their families struggle to bring increasingly expensive professional higher education within their reach. RF(I)T believes that while it has been able to reach out to a few deserving students, it is the value building and the spirit of volunteerism that it seeks to nurture in future professionals, that will form strong links in the chain, which will then reach out monetarily or non-monetarily to others. Hence, compulsory participation in trainings, workshops as well as 10 days of volunteering per academic year are mandatory requirements from students who are awarded scholarships.

Only those students and their parents / guardians who believe in this value system, should proceed with the scholarship application.
