The youth these days faces a dilemma. They face confusion while selecting an institution to study. And, every youngster’s parents with dreams in eyes cannot afford to pack their kid’s bags to foreign shores. Some parents cannot even afford college fee. But, institutions these days are offering scholarships to needy and scholarly students. Moreover, the growing number of educational institutions around Chandigarh has also helped the youth brigade. These institutions provide and support scholarships in various ways. I, being an educationist, would like to take you on a journey about scholarship schemes they offer.
