The government school students will fly to Taiwan to pursue an undergraduate degree, and have secured a full scholarship for it.A total of 247 students from government schools across the State, who are set to study in prestigious higher education institutions, were honoured by the Tamil Nadu government on Wednesday. Nearly all of them are from an underprivileged background, and many of them would be the first graduate in their family. The Government of Tamil Nadu is funding their college education. Many of these students completed Class XII at the Model Schools run by the School Education Department.
A student of the Model School in Dharmapuri district, Jayashree will pursue a degree in mechanical engineering at Kun Shan University in Taiwan, and Sindhu will pursue a course in International Business and Trade at Ming Chuan University. This is a first for government students from the State. I had secured admission into NIT to pursue engineering, but then heard about the scholarships being offered in Taiwan through my school. The university’s curriculum for mechanical engineering was interesting, and I look forward to studying there, who will be the first graduate in her family once she completes her college education. Nearly all of them are from an underprivileged background, and many of them would be the first graduate in their family. The Government of Tamil Nadu is funding their college education.
