- While filling Yearly Expenditure – consider College Fees, Books, Hostel Fees, Examination Fees, Travel Expenses, Misc. Expenses, but it has to be a realistic number.

- If you are receiving the Scholarships from other places, mention the details honestly.
- We will be getting reviews of your previous year track-record from your mentors, UVCEGA and other people as well as college authorities.
Certification Support
The Certifiation Support initiative is aimed towards grooming the students and encouraging them towards technical expertise. We will be considering mainly merit and the interests of the student in this case.
- The idea is to support in improving your skills and helping validate your knowledge via well known certification platforms.
- List of Certifications to choose from is provided here
- You can select your certification programme after checking the details and if it is relevant to you.
- While registering for the course, we will provide 50% of the fee and you will need to pay the remaining 50%.
- If you complete the course within the timeframe, we will reimburse the amount paid by you, thus making the certification free for you.
- However, if you do not complete the course within the stipulated time, you will need to return the amount paid by us initially
Things to Consider:
There will be a few conditions for students who get shortlisted. There will be tasks that will be expected from them like:
- Will need to update the mentors/guides on a regular basis
- Send one mail every month updating what they did in the month
- Attend the online/in-person meets without a miss.
- When UVCEGA Team gives a simple assignment, you will need to evaluate the submissions of two of your peers.
We will be guiding and helping with completion of the tasks mentioned above. We are insisting to take the help of the alumni. More detailed explanation of each of the task will be provided after the final list of Scholarship Awardees is announced.
If you have any queries, you can write to info@uvcega.org
Last Date to Apply: December 5th, 2024
Remember that you can choose only one option - Scholarship or Certification Support
The Process:
- The BoG chairperson, Director and Chairpersons of all the Departments will be informed about the Scholarship initiative and requested to inform the students about the UVCEGA Scholarship via announcements.
- We invite the applications from students. The students will need to fill the Application Form every year (irrespective of if they have received Scholarships previous year). We try to identify the need and necessity for the students along with his/her background details (including academic, finance, interests, purpose, family details)
- After the deadline, based on specific criteria set (like overall academic performance, extra curricular activities, stay and additional expenses, need, family background), we filter the candidates for interview on a particular date. There is no fixed number. We have varied the numbers year entirely based on the applications and deserving students.
- During interview, alumni from various batches are asked to interact with the students on a general basis and evaluate the necessity. There is no restriction on the numbers from each panel. Since, there is no constraint to begin with, the alumni are able to judge without any pre-determined notions.
- After the interviews are done, we all come together and each panel is given an opportunity to share their views and present the case of how many should be awarded scholarships from their panel and why they deserve it. On a case-by-case basis, other alumni can question the need or suggest alternatives. Finally, the list is decided based on everyone’s consensus. Based on the funds available and additional requirement, next action plan is prepared.
- The Scholarships are awarded in a very simple and small event in the college premises.
- The Scholarship awardees are also monitored from past 1 year about the performance in various aspects and informed to keep in touch if they need more guidance or support.
Calling Alumni Donors
Be it UVCEGA or VisionUVCE or any other Scholarships, it is always the support from the alumni donors which has made it suucessful. It is the mindset to “Give Back to UVCE” that we respect.

We have multiple options and choices for people to select from for the scholarship funds donation

- For alumni interested to create an endowment fund, you are welcome to specify your criteria too.
The Endowment Funds will not be for infinite duration,but will be dealt in case-by case manner. We will discuss in detail and provide the updated plan here.
