1. Huawei Scholarships for Indian Students
The Huawei Maitree Scholarship Programme for academic year 2013 is open for application to aid Indian
students who want to pursue higher studies in China. The scholarship amount of 5,000 dollars aims at
covering the student's tuition fee and living expenses.
The transnational educational initiative was started in 2011 by the telecommunications giant as a part of
its corporate social responsibility programme. It fosters the spirit of innovation and scholarship in every
discipline to bring about a better understanding, appreciation and friendship between youngsters of
India and China.
Under the programme, 20 scholarships are provided every year to the selected Indian students for
higher studies in credible and reputed institutions of China – preferably in emerging areas of science and
technology, culture, social studies and development related programmes.
Huawei believes that the scholarship will help under-graduate and post-graduate students dedicate
themselves to the pursuit of excellence and be instrumental in shaping their careers.
Apart from the educational curriculum, the scholarship facilitates exchange of knowledge between
students from entirely different societies by providing them with invaluable opportunity to understand
and experience another culture.
The duration of scholarship is one year which is renewable for every new academic session till the
completion of course. For renewal of scholarship, the recipient is required to satisfy the criteria of 80
per cent marks in previous academic year.

The last date for submitting the documents and applying for the scholarship is July 10. The results will be
announced on July 17.
The candidate must have independently gained admission to a reputed university/college/institution in
China at the time of applying for the scholarship.
