ReplyDeleteI am the mother of Aaron. My son Aaron is studying in the 7th standard. He has a very good general knowledge and is also good at his studies. So, I got my son registered for the program as soon as I came to know about the HDFC scholarship program.
ReplyDeleteAll I had to do was fill an online registration form to get my son registered, then HDFC bank contacted me regarding the further details of when the test has to be taken.
As the last date for registration to the program is 28th Feb 09, I being a parent would request other parents having their kids studying in 4th -9th standard to get their kids registered for the program here: http://www.hdfcbank.com/meritus/register_now.asp

ReplyDeleteI am a student of std.ix studying in st.xaviers khandagiri bhubaneshwar. the registration forms were available in the school, so i registered myself to give tthe exam. i gave the exam online for the first round and qualified for the second.the system was that your highest score will be considered as final. so with 30 out of 30 being my highest score i have great chances of qualifying for the final round and ialso have a chance of winning a scolarship and doing my parents proud.So ,all have to say about this program is ,it gives opportunities to deserving students a chance to win scolarships .One thing more good about this programme is, its not like only those scoring 90% or above have chances of winning the scolarship but, also those securing in the 70,s and 80,s can also win scolarships i my self am an example, scoring 83% in the last year final exams but having great chancesc of qualifying for the final round along with my those friends who secure 70,s and 80,s.Its, not about only excelling in academics but it is mainly about having strong general knowledge
