New Delhi: Three students from Bangalore, Kolkata and Mumbai are set to receive the 2010 Manmohan Singh scholarship to fund their undergraduate studies at the University of Cambridge.

For 2010, the scholarship will be given to Neal Duggal from Mallya Aditi International School, Bangalore, Jesika Haria from Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai, and Rudrajit Banerjee from The Cambridge School, Kolkata.

Neal Duggal and Jesika Haria have received conditional offers of places at St John's College and Emmanuel College, Cambridge, to study for degrees in Economics and Engineering respectively, while Rudrajit Banerjee has received an unconditional offer to study Natural Sciences at Christ's College, Cambridge, the university said in a statement on Tuesday.

The Manmohan Singh Undergraduate Scholarship programme was established in 2009 in honour of India's Prime Minister who graduated from the Cambridge varsity with a first class in Economics in the late 1950s. Singh was also awarded an honorary doctorate by the university in 2006.

The scholarship is awarded to students who have received an offer of a place at the University of Cambridge. Two of the three places offered by University of Cambridge are conditional on these students achieving specific grades.

The scholarship programme will provide full funding, covering fees and maintenance for undergraduate study at the Cambridge. IANS
