The scholarship supports talented students who wish to pursue a fully funded master's degree at the School of Business at Wake Forest University, United States.
Ashoka University has partnered with Havells Family Foundation to institute the Havells Family Scholarship. It is designed to support talented Ashoka students who wish to pursue a fully funded master's degree at the School of Business at Wake Forest University, United States.
The scholarship includes a stipend to cover living expenses, books, other fees throughout the duration of the programme, and also covers international airfare.
“At Havells, social responsibility has always been at the forefront of our operating philosophy and over the years we have been a strong proponent and enabler of education as means of empowering individual mobility, independence, and dignity. As founder and trustee of Ashoka University, we are excited to deepen this relationship through this scholarship program. This scholarship aims to provide learning opportunities for all, through a thoughtful combination of dedicated faculty, diverse socio-economic backgrounds and international exposure which fits perfectly with the overall vision and values of Ashoka University as well,” said Anil Rai Gupta of the Havells Family Foundation.
The scholarship is granted to outstanding students who are motivated to excel both academically and in extra-curricular activities. It is for students who exemplify qualities such as academic excellence, cultural and social awareness, leadership skills, ethical and moral character, and commitment to ‘pro humanitate’ -- a calling to use one’s knowledge, talents and compassion to better the lives of others.
The first-ever scholarship has been awarded to Abhishek Nayak, to pursue a Master’s of Science in Management at Wake Forest School of Business. Abhishek graduated with a major in Economics and a minor in Entrepreneurship from Ashoka in 2023.
Sharing his thoughts, Pramath Raj Sinha, Chairperson, Board of Trustees, Ashoka University said, “At Ashoka, it has been our mission to help young talented minds to fulfill their dreams and ambitions through an approach that is fundamentally inclusive. The Havells Family Scholarship presents an exciting global opportunity to our students in this regard. I thank our founder Anil Rai Gupta and his family for instituting this scholarship. It is reflective of their deep commitment towards elevating the quality of higher education in India, as well as towards helping Ashoka reach higher summits. I also congratulate our brilliant student Abhishek Nayak for becoming the first recipient of the scholarship.”
For the founding year of the scholarship, Ashoka students could apply for either Masters of Science in Management (MSM) or the Masters of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA). The opportunity was opened to all seniors of the graduating class of 2023. After a highly rigorous selection procedure at Ashoka, four exceptional students were selected for Wake Forest’s consideration, with Abhishek making the final cut.
