| Felix Scholarship : Introduction
The Felix Scholarship was founded to offer gifted underprivileged students
from India and certain other developing countries the opportunity of furthering
their postgraduate education by attending a university in the UK.
The primary objective of the Felix Scholarship is to stimulate the Felix
scholars by exposing them to academic study, cultures, experiences and
friendships that they would not otherwise have had the chance to sample.
It is hoped that this in turn will endow them with skills and visions,
enabling them, when returning to their country of origin, to contribute
to the culture and welfare of their home communities.
Felix scholarships are offered at three universities - the University of
Oxford, the University of Reading and the School of Oriental and African Studies
(SOAS), part of the University of London. The Scholarships are awarded on
the basis of outstanding academic merit and financial need.
