Scholarship
ICC Scholarship is a creation of collaborative efforts of Asian Indian Professionals (AIP) and Indian Cultural Center (ICC). Dr. Dev Gupta donated $200,000 for the scholarship fund. To date, over half a million dollars have been awarded to many deserving students based on merit and need.
ICC Scholarship is to be awarded to College Students of Indian Origin from Delaware Valley. Students are required to submit a completed Scholarship Application along with supporting documents – most recent tax returns, proof of college admission and most recent academic transcript. Applicants are also required to submit a Personal Statement as to why we should consider their candidacy, list all awards, honors, scholarships and extracurricular activities, community services and write a summary statement in support of application including any special circumstances that should be considered. Scholarship committee is in charge of selecting deserving students based on financial need, merit and any special circumstances without knowing identity of these students. Scholarship committee also decides the total amount to be distributed and amounts of individual awards. Top two scholarships are named “Krishna Gupta Memorial Scholarship”. Scholarship recipients are announced at the Annual Scholarship Award banquet, usually held in the fall; and scholarship checks are distributed during this event.
