About SSTSS Scheme :
As a premiere Institution for Social Science Research in India, the Institute for Social and Economic Change, Bangalore, has initiated the ‘Social Science Talent Search Scheme’ to foster social science education among young students for knowledge and career building.
It aims to identify talented students to get into social science education after 12th standard (plus-two level) and to motivate them to opt for social science subjects in their degree courses.
It aims to nurture them with appropriate capacity building, coaching and financial support so as to produce bright torchbearers from social science background for future policy making – both at state and national levels.
For the time being, the scheme is open to only those studying in the Pre-University colleges falling under the jurisdiction of Bangalore Division of the Department of Pre-university Education in Karnataka. More than 800 such colleges are located in the districts of this Division, viz., Bangalore (Urban), Bangalore (Rural), Chikkaballapur, Kolar and Ramanagaram.
25 students who score the highest marks in the competitive examination offered under SSTSS are eligible to receive a monthly scholarship of Rs. 500/= pm (for 10 months in a year for 3 years) and an annual scholarship of Rs. 2500/= for 3 years, i.e., till they complete their BA course.
The monthly scholarship is sponsored by the H’ble Vice-Chancellor, Bangalore University. The annual scholarship is sponsored by the Karnataka State Knowledge Commission.
The Christ University has sponsored annual scholarships for 10 students who would join for degree courses in social sciences in its college. The successful students are eligible to avail of the above scholarships only if they join for BA courses taking social science subjects.
