Chennai: India and the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have inked a pact to support outstanding Indian students wanting to pursue doctorates in Mathematics, Science and Engineering at the university.
As per this agreement signed between the CMU and India’s Science and Engineering Research Board, $2.4 million will be provided in fellowships to deserving students from India over the next five years. The fellowships will support a minimum of five Indian students each academic year, beginning 2016.
“We look forward to working with the Board to develop the next great generation of scholars, scientists and engineers who will help address many of the 21st century human challenges. More than any other country on Earth, India is poised for significant growth in the coming years,” university President Subra Suresh was quoted as saying. “I think with Carnegie Mellon’s potential, and India’s huge global potential, there is opportunity.”
