JITM Students obtain scholarships from LBW trust of Australia

August 14th, 2007

Following are excerpts from a report in Pioneer on this.

Thirteen students belonging to B Tech, +2 Science and ITI of JITM, Paralkhemundi, have been chosen by the LBW Trust, which is based in Sydney, Australia, having the website http://www.lbwtrust.com.au.

The scholarships will cover the respective tuition fees in different programmes. The support is initially for a year and would be continued based on the academic performance of the students.

The awardees also include three female students. It is expected that this support will assist the selected students greatly, who are from weak financial background though being meritorious. It is also expected to encourage other students to perform well academically in order to avail similar opportunities in the future.

The LBW Trust was established last year with the purpose of providing education and training to impoverished and underprivileged people overseas and within Australia.

Candidates for assistance by the trust would be chosen from cricket playing nations among developing countries as well as from Australia.

The trust hopes that these young men and women, who are sponsored by it, would in their turn play their part in the upliftment of their countries.

Interested students should go to the Contact Us pages of the trust and send a mail to them to find out more about this scholarship and how to apply for it.
