The scholarship I have received from BPCL will certainly lessen the burden of expenses I incur for the BCL at the University of Oxford. I hope to study constitutional law theory and law&development at Oxford. It is a vey commendable endeavour on BPCl's to assist students every year in fulfilling their dream of a quality education abroad.

I am grateful for BPCL’s support by way of this scholarship – the financial load on my family is eased, enabling me to give full attention to the task of acquiring specialized knowledge and skills in the area of Marriage and Family Therapy. The experience I gain in America’s cross-cultural environment will help me give back to my country, which is facing psychological problems arising out of factors like rapid industrialization, nuclear family system, globalization etc.

In spite of having the potential and caliber, lot of people miss out on a chance to do graduate studies from a good university, because of the expense. And the BPCL scholarship goes a long way in helping few of those students fulfil their dream, each year. I am glad to be one of the BPCL scholars this year. Relieved of the initial expenditure, I can now spend more time on academics.

The Master in City Planning program in MIT is considered to be one of the most prestigious courses in urban planning. It is also one of the most expensive. I had taken an educational loan to cover my tuition expenses for the first year. Without the BPCL scholarship it would have been impossible for me to continue with the program. I am extremely grateful to BPCL for its generous support. During the course of the coming year, I plan to study how institutional and political factors influence outcomes of development projects, especially in the Indian context.

I am very pleased to receive the BPCL scholarship. Although, monetarily, it does not come even close to my tution fees in the UK, I take it's value as far more, for it gives me silent, yet strong, support;and it reassures me in my striving towards my goal.
