The Titan Scholarship
The Titan Scholarship Scheme was formally launched in 1992 to identify and encourage economically underprivileged, meritorious students. Since then, over 1500 ITI, Diploma, Engineering, Medicine and Arts and Science students have benefited from this scheme.
The grants are the culmination of a rigorous procedure that is designed to reach the neediest students. The Company invites applications through several modes of communication, including
advertisements in print media and posters in schools and colleges. This is followed by the short-listing of candidates, scrutiny of marks obtained, evaluation of social and economic status, and a ‘face-to-face’ interview by subject matter experts in the relevant fields. The interview panel consists of key middle-level managers of the Company and HR managers.
In addition to an emphasis on socio-economic status, general awareness, academic achievements, and aptitude to use the scholarship effectively, the selection criteria also look at ambition, drive, societal concerns, and values. Selected candidates are further empowered through motivation and orientation sessions.
