S. N. BOSE SCHOLARS PROGRAM

To nurture future innovators and thought leaders, the Science & Engineering Board (SERB), Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India, the Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF) and WINStep Forward have partnered to develop a dynamic and transformative student exchange program between premier institutions in India and the United States. The program is named in honor of Satyendra Nath Bose (1894 - 1974),a visionary Indian physicist best known for his work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s. The class of particles that obey Bose-Einstein statistics, Bosons, was named after him.

The program is envisaged to:

provide an opportunity to Indian students to experience world-class research facilities in leading U.S. institutions;
encourage and motivate students to take up research as a career;
pave the way for the next generation of pioneers and innovators in science and technology to interact with each other, and;
build long-term R&D linkages and collaborations cutting across boundaries around the globe.
Scholarship includes:

Stipend
Health Insurance
Air-fare
