Applications are invited for Deutsche Bank Engineering Scholarship 2023 for Girls. Online applications are open on the official website.

About the Scholarship

Deutsche Bank announced a partnership with Smile Foundation to provide engineering scholarships to 200 young women from low-income backgrounds in India. The students, from Bengaluru, Jaipur, Mumbai, and Pune, will receive funding for a four-year engineering course at select colleges across the cities.

First-year engineering students with an annual family income of less than 500,000 rupees (approx. 6,200 euros) and with an aggregate score of 60 percent or higher in their secondary and higher secondary examinations will be eligible to apply.

After a thorough interview and screening process, successful candidates will receive a scholarship of up to 100,000 rupees (approx. 1,240 euros) per year, a laptop, career training and assistance with internships and job placements. Along with the training provided by Smile Foundation, Deutsche Bank’s staff volunteers will provide mentorship and support to the students over the four year-period.

“Young women from low-income families face an uphill task when trying to purse their dreams. Those who can continue to pursue higher education often juggle responsibilities at home with a demanding curriculum and financial pressure. This can be overwhelming and result in high dropout rates. Through the Deutsche Bank Engineering Scholarship, we hope to help some of these talented young women fulfil their ambitions,” says Khurshed Dordi, Deutsche Bank’s Group Chief Operating Officer for India.
