Kattankulathur, September 8 (MExN): The SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST), Kattankulathur is offering scholarships to 300 students from the Perambalur constituency. This was announced by SRMIST’s Founder Chancellor and Perambalur Constituency Member of Parliament, Dr T R Paarivendhar on Wednesday.
Speaking at the press conference held at the Institute's premises, Dr Paarivendhar said that as part of his promise to the people of Perambalur constituency, SRMIST had given free education to 600 students for the last two years. “This year too I will keep up my election promise and provide free education to 300 students from my constituency,” he added.
Students from the Perambalur Lok Sabha segment, who wish to pursue Engineering & Technology, Science & Humanities, Agricultural Sciences, Management, Health Sciences, Hotel Management, etc., can apply. Applicants from economically weaker sections will be selected based on their performance in their respective board examinations, a press release informed on Wednesday.
These 300 students from economically weaker sections in the Perambalur constituency would be given free education at his SRM group of institutions. This scheme will only cover full tuition fees and be renewed on basis of academic performance. In view of COVID-19 pandemic, hostel facilities will not be provided, it said.
Stating that the SRM group would strive to make education at private universities beneficial to those from the economically weaker sections, Dr Paarivendhar said, “Students should utilize this opportunity to pursue higher studies.” He assured that deserving students would get suitable placements and the selection process for the scholarship will be done based on merit and the student's economic background.
According to the release, Dr Paarivendhar explained that he came up with the initiative because several of his constituents are from economically weak backgrounds and do not have access to good education and job opportunities.
Those eligible for the scholarship in the constituency need to submit the applications on or before September 18, 2021. Applications for the same can be sent to Director (Admissions), SRM Nagar, Potheri, Chengalpattu District - 603203. Application forms can be downloaded from https://admissions.srmist.edu.in/srmistonline/Perambalur, the release stated.
