Sudhir Sharma, an Indian who started his career in the 80s in the UK, has come to help the Indian students. With more and more powerful people coming up to help the people of their country, Sharma has taken the step to provide up to 30 per cent scholarship to the Indian students in the college with which he has associated i.e. the Medical University of Antigua announces up to 30 per cent scholarships for the NEET students.
He has a keen understanding of the necessity to provide social mobility for future generations to ensure growth. These scholarships will motivate the students of our country to relocate and explore new possibilities in a foreign land. The cost associated with the course at MUA will be on par with the fee structure of the Indian medical colleges. This step will ensure a bright future of the medical aspirants of our country.
