J.N.Tata Endowment Scholarship: Introduction
The J.N. Tata Endowment was set up in 1892 by the Founder of the Tata group,
Jamsetji N. Tata, to encourage young people to avail of higher studies at some
of the best universities in the world. It is the first Tata benefaction in the
field of education, and possibly, the first of its kind, anywhere.
For the past 118 years the Endowment has been helping scholars of merit to
fulfill their aspirations of a world class education through its loan
scholarship programs. The scholarships are awarded for higher studies abroad
in all disciplines and subjects. The Endowment annually, selects around 120
meritorious scholars through a rigorous selection process for the prestigious
J.N. Tata Endowment loan scholarships for higher studies abroad. Over the
years, several J.N. Tata scholars have distinguished themselves in various
walks of life.
The endowment awards only loan scholarships. However, the selected scholars
may also qualify for a gift award. The amount to be awarded to each scholar by
way of loan and gift scholarship is determined on the basis of norms laid down
for the purpose, and does not cover the full cost of studies. Scholarships are
granted for higher studies in all disciplines and subjects.
