Indian scholarship for Bali students

The Indian Cultural Centre-Bali (ICC) has awarded three Balinese students with a two-year scholarship at leading Indian universities.

Ni Nyoman Suryawati from Denpasar received a scholarship for a masters program at the Central Institute of English and Foreign Languages in Hyderabad, while Wiwik Dharmiasih, also from Denpasar, will pursue a masters degree in international relations at the respected Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi.

The third student, Made Ayu Diah Indira Virgiastuti Tangkas, will fly to Bangalore to earn her BA at the Goodwill Christian College for Women.

Nandini Krishna of the ICC stated that the government of India would cover the tuition fees and accommodation of the three students. The scholarship recipients would only have to cover their airfare and travel expenses from Bali to India.

A total 20 Indonesian students have received similar scholarships this year. --JP
