Sydney univ. grants $ 400,000 scholarships to 2 Indians seeking to save millions from poverty
Sydney University has granted scholarships for two Indian students – Ava Khan and Adhip Tanwar – for their ideas that could change the lives of millions of Indians living in poverty.
It’s these big ideas that have led to both being selected as recipients of the two major scholarships offered under the Sydney Scholars India Scholarship program, valued at up to $200,000 each.
Launched in 2019, the Sydney Scholars India Scholarship program aims to help unearth India’s future visionary leaders. It is one of the most generous scholarship programs available to Indian international students from an Australian university, valued at up to $500,000 a year. In total 14 students from India received scholarships this year as part of the program.
“We were so impressed by the caliber and vision of the students from India who applied for the scholarships. They have demonstrated through their empathy, resilience, vision and capability that they are the leaders of the future and we are proud to welcome them into our community and support them on their journey,” said Vice-Principal of External Relations at the University of Sydney, Tania Rhodes-Taylor.
Meanwhile, Adhip Tanwar – Bachelor of Advanced Computing – said “My idea to bring change to India is an eLearning mobile and web application – ‘TeachIndia’ – that provides access and personalisation of education, reaching the most underprivileged sections of society and providing education in all of India’s languages.”
“My long-term goal is to build a successful organisation that leverages technology to eliminate literacy barriers in communities where class boundaries prevent people from accessing proper learning.”
“I have been impressed by how the University encourages its students to step outside their course requirements to develop fully and also pushes students to engage in high-level intellectual discussions on contemporary global issues.
“I believe diversity is the foundation of truly creative thinking. Sydney is a multicultural city and a place where learners of all kinds and from all countries can add to and benefit from new perspectives.”
Ava Khan – Bachelor of Science (Health) Infectious Diseases (Major) – said “My idea is to develop an e-health system where every Indian’s medical data could be linked to their national identification number and accessed via their devices or government registries. To accelerate the process in rural areas, I would like to integrate my idea with the government’s Anganwadi approach that has successfully provided healthcare to children in rural areas. This will not only contribute to accurate patient diagnosis but can also assist the next generation of doctors and improve the Indian public health-care system significantly.”
“What really drew me to the University of Sydney are its core values of inclusion, integrity and discipline – beliefs I grew up with.”
“I chose the University of Sydney to equip myself with the skills I need to fulfill a life-long dream of serving my country and improve the lives of other Indians who have not had the same opportunities I have.”
