JAMMU, May 28: Vodafone launched the Season-2 of its “Scholarship Programme” for J&K students.
All existing and new Vodafone customers whose children have scored 90 per cent and above of prefect 10 CGPA in class 10th and 12th board exams are eligible for the scholarship.
The students have to fill an enrollment form giving details of their children and submit it at their nearest Vodafone store/mini-store within 30 days of declaration of J&K State Education Board/CBSE results. After receiving the detailed results, they will also be required to submit a copy of the mark-sheet. The selected students will be awarded scholarship and certificate.
Asit Shekhar, Business Head, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and J&K, Vodafone India, said, “We are happy to continue with the Scholarship Programme for J&K for the second year running, an effort which helps promote excellence in the gen-next. The first phase in Kashmir this year was a success with over 100 meritorious students benefitting from it. Now, it’s the turn of Jammu students to avail this fantastic opportunity to win the scholarship. The response to this programme has been tremendous which encourages us to continue with the scholarship programme for the years to come”.
Vodafone had initiated the Scholarship Programme, a first-of-its-kind initiative by any telecom company in the State, last year as a part of its Vodafone Delights Initiative. Vodafone India had announced the second edition of the Scholarship Programme in December for J&K students excelling in the Class 10 and 12 board examinations.
By participating in the Scholarship Programme, the students will not only win a scholarship but would get a chance to attend the motivational speeches from officials from the Vodafone Corporate.
