Merit-Cum-Means Scholarship Programme
In 2014 itself, BECT found its first talent in Ms Zoya, daughter of F.M. Chughtai and Rahat Tasneem . A 13 year old all-rounder from English Medium Middle School (EMMS) Sector-XI, Bhilai, she had been doing consistently well not only in academics, but also in Extracurricular activities. She was BECT’s unanimous choice for the one-time monetary award of Rs 100000 (Rupees one lakh only).
In 2015, our purse size had almost quadrupled and justifiably we became more ambitious. We were able to spot 14 deserving students, not just in academics, but also in the field of sports and extra-curricular activities. Each was awarded a trophy, a certificate and Rs 25000 in cash.
In 2016, BECT identified 13 students on Merit Basis. It was decided to award Rs 100000 (Rupees one lakh only) each to three of them and Rs 50000 (Rupees Fifty thousand only) to the other ten. In addition, all 13 were presented with a certificate and a trophy.
