Objective:
APTA has a noble objective of helping the poor and needy Telugu students in their educational expenses.
Introduction:
APTA introduces a new program called ASEP [APTA Student Education Program], which enables us to help poor and needy students back home. APTA would strive to connect a benevolent and generous donor to a bright and needy student. On a regular basis, ASEP committee collects a list of economically backward students, who are exceptionally doing well in their studies/academics, but coming from the families that are too economically weak to support their kids’ educational expenses. APTA renders partial/full support to the selected students on an annual basis. If any of you come across such exceptional students with an abject poverty background, kindly forward their details to apta-exec@googlegroups.com.
Selection Process:
Below are the criteria for accepting the qualified applications from the targeted students: Accept applications only thru the referrals and the referrer must be an APTA Life Member. Review and scrutinize the received applications (by the ASEP committee members). Conduct a telephonic panel interview with the screened list of applicants (by the ASEP committee members) Combine the interview credential points (as mentioned in the below table) for each candidate and pass the finalized list on to the ASEP Chair (by the ASEP committee members). Approve the list of all APTA Scholarship Recipients for each Academic year (by the APTA Exec Committee) Get the paperwork from the selected recipients and send them the Checks (by APTA Treasurer)
