British schools woo Indian students with scholarships worth Rs 7 crore

LONDON: Students finding the rat race in Indian schools tough to cope with are now being wooed by a federation of leading British boarding schools with scholarships to the tune of Rs 7 crore.
The Anglo Schools International Services (ASIS) have put together a federation of leading boarding schools in the UK to offer seats to Indian students. It said: "Many ASIS federation school see all students get into their first choice University." All schools under ASIS are offering scholarships in the 25%-100% range.
"In the UK it can cost around £200 to register to take an entrance exam for each school you apply to. But ASIS have changed this. With one charge of £250 you register for all the schools in the federation at once and sit a common entrance exam in India rather than in the UK," the ASIS said.
