- KEI Pre-doctoral Scholarship (KEI-PDS)
- KEI-PDS is a merit-based scholarship offered to academically outstanding students studying at the Master’s level in different Universities/Institutes in Kashmir. The award assists the students in exploring the possibility of receiving their M.S/Ph.D. in the United States. The award will have financial and informational support components. The financial provisions of this scholarship will go directly in sponsoring the attempts of needy talented students to secure admission to Ph.D. programs in the United States. The informational component of this award will guide talented students (irrespective of their financial stature) in the application process for securing admissions.
- There are three main junctures where students need financial assistance. The first two are the exams: Graduate Research Examination (GRE) and the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) are mandatory for application to almost all Ph.D. programs in the United States. The third is during the actual application process when the student finally has to pay the university application fee, which often poses a daunting economic obstacle.
- KEI provides assistance at and along all three junctures. The selection is primarily based on merit at the board/university level and a strong Curriculum Vitae (CV) supported with a 500-1000 word statement of purpose, briefing the student’s interest in the intended field of study (this is important as it is also one of the selection criteria in US graduate programs and will help us evaluate the student).
- The shortlisted candidates will be asked to sit in the GRE-style pre-screening test to be held at Kashmir University (or any other place designated at that time).
- Followed by an Interview of the shortlisted candidates. The cumulative score is taken from all three rounds for the final score which includes their academic score as well.
