University of Cambridge Manmohan Singh Undergraduate Scholarships announced for 2010

Three outstanding students from Bangalore, Kolkata and Mumbai are destined to receive the 2010 Manmohan Singh Undergraduate Scholarship to fund their undergraduate studies at the University of Cambridge .

The Manmohan Singh Undergraduate Scholarship programme was established in 2009 in honour of India's Prime Minister who graduated from the University of Cambridge with a First in Economics in the late 1950s, and who was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the University in 2006. The Scholarship is awarded to students who have received an offer of a place at the University of Cambridge. Two of the three places offered by University of Cambridge are conditional on these students achieving specific grades.

The Scholarship programme will provide full funding, covering fees and means-tested maintenance for undergraduate study at the University of Cambridge, and was launched to provide financial assistance to exceptional students in India who would not otherwise be able to afford to go to Cambridge.

The Manmohan Singh Undergraduate Scholarships will be awarded to Neal Duggal from Mallya Aditi International School, Bangalore, Jesika Haria from Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai, and Rudrajit Banerjee from The Cambridge School, Kolkata. Neal Duggal and Jesika Haria have received conditional offers of places to St John's College and Emmanuel College, Cambridge, to study for degrees in Economics and Engineering respectively, while Rudrajit Banerjee has received an unconditional offer to study Natural Sciences at Christ's College, Cambridge.

All three students received Cambridge Outstanding Achiever Awards in 2008 from University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) for their exceptional performance in their examinations. Neal Duggal won the Top in India award for Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry; Jesika Haria came Top in India for her performance across six Cambridge IGCSE subjects, and also won awards for Cambridge IGCSE Literature (English), Foreign Language French, Additional Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics; Rudrajit Banerjee won the Top in India award for Cambridge International A Level Physics.
