Societe Generale Global Solution Centre (SG GSC), a subsidiary of the French banking and financial services company Societe Generale has announced the 5th edition of its scholarship programme - 'SG GSC India Talent Scholarship'.

The programme focuses on facilitating the higher education of talented students with financial difficulties. The scholarship covers the total course fee, allowing the students to concentrate entirely on their studies.

Since its launch in 2010, the SG GSC India talent scholarship programme has provided scholarships to 63 deserving students from premier institutes, such as Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA), Indian Institute of Management, Tiruchirappalli (IIMT) Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore (IIMB), Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode (IIMK), Indian School of Business, Hyderabad (ISB), and International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore (IIIT-B).

During its 150th anniversary celebrations in 2014, SG GSC enhanced its programme to include a larger number of beneficiaries. The 5th year saw the programme covering 18 students.

The mentorship programme, which ensures every student is mentored by a senior leader from SG GSC, remains one of the mainstays this year as well.

The scholarship programme does not in any way obligate the students to join SG GSC after completing their course thereby allowing them to follow a career of their choice.
