WNSO - ICON College Scholarship Programme
for September Session

After successful completion of WNSO - ICON College Scholarship selection for February 2007 intake, Worldwide Nepalese Students' Organisation - Nepal (WNSO Nepal) is pleased to announce that applications for September 2007 intake are open for all interested students. Nepalese students still in Nepal at the time of application may apply for the scholarships.
Scholarships will cover Tuition Fees only and are available in following subject categories:

Business Administration via BTEC HND in Business (2 Years of BA Hons)
Business Information Technology via BTEC HND in ICT
(2 Years of BSc Hons)
Tourism and Hospitality Management via HND in Tourism Management
(2 Years of BA Hons Tourism and Hospitality Management)
Postgraduate Diploma in Management Studies (DMS)
(1 Year of 2 Year MBA)
After the successful completion of academic programmes conducted by Icon College of Management and Technology degrees of Higher National Diploma and Postgraduate Diploma in Management Studies are awarded by Edexcel, the UK's largest awarding body.

Higher National Diploma and Postgraduate Diploma are very popular degrees in the UK. After the successful completion of Higher National Diplomas, the students are eligible to upgrade their qualification to BSc (Hons) or BA (Hons) in the respective subjects by studying one more additional year. Similarly, students after successfully completing the Postgraduate Diploma in Management Studies (DMS) may continue study for one more year anytime to get the degree of MBA.

The London South Bank University awards bachelor level degrees and MBA degree is awarded by the University of Sunderland. Fees for the final years should be deposited directly to the respective universities; hence, the college does not provide scholarships for that additional one-year study. However, WNSO may negotiate with those universities regarding the possible discounts and other facilities.

The scholarships will be allocated on competitive basis. The Top 4 students will get full scholarship regardless of the subject. To be eligible for the award of these scholarships the potential students must satisfy the entry requirements for the course for which they are applying as well as Terms and Conditions governing tenure of these scholarships.

Dr. (??) Sunil,

Good business and good cost free marketing media!

Do you know WNSO properly? Does it allow you to do business on its name??

I am surprised to see why you are only advertising ICON!! As far as I know there are many language, computer institutes in UK like in Bagbazar and Putalisadak in Kathmandu (in fact they are one/two room college with few chairs and tables and not the real academic college).

If you understand the real WNSO then you can also provide serious students and youngsters in our country the right information about academic and career making colleges.

Most of the "sadak chhap" college in UK are only to enter UK not to study there because they don't have teaching facilities, they call all their students (who are normally full time worker in some restaurants) immediately so that the inspectors see oh its working and its students are studying, its functional.

When it is said about scholarships and through an organization (for your business) of course the genuine and hard working students get trapped to such crap college and destroy their future. Better attract only those who are dying hard only to go UK.

You claim already having Dr. so do other good job than collecting money from application fee...good luck!

Dear Nepal??

Thanks a lot for your response. At least you have gone through the announcement and produced your viewpoint. It’s very natural to be skeptical when it comes to the matter of sending the Nepalese students to poor foreign colleges just to shake of getting visa and work there for few more hours for few more bucks and spoil their whole life. We are very much serious about the future of the brilliant Nepalese students and we do not want to play with their future.

ICON College is one of the best private colleges in London (our study has proved that) and we are not doing any advertisement for the college. To get a scholarship that worth 7500 £ for an average Nepali person is not a joke. And you will not find any good British college that provides free scholarships to the Nepali students.

And for your kind information, we are not any profit making organization. WNSO is a reputed social organization run for the benefit of Nepali students living all around the world. I am not just a Dr??. I am a real medical doctor, not just a junior. In spite of our busy schedule, WNSO team is trying to find some precious time for the benefit of Nepalese students.

I want to repeat once again that we are not doing this to make some money out of the application forms. All money collected from that will be spending on the welfare of the needy students in national scholarships, donations and other social activities. Please visit the website of WNSO for more information.

So, I think it is a very good opportunity for the deserving students to go to UK for higher studies on 100% scholarships. Thank you.

Dear Sir,

Thanks a lot for your information. I am waiting for the 10+2 results. I had highest first division in the first year and I am hoping for the similar results in the second year too. Can I apply for the scholarship? By the way, I have visited the Website of Icon College and the college seems very prestigious to me. One of my friends is also studying in the same college. Thank you.

Kirti,
Happy to read your post. Of course you can but you should have results by the time of selection test. Please contact our office for more information.

it's really appreciating work. plz, let's not criticize, better tell those who r applying to find the information about before jumping. but, WNSO is offering not SALE, it's doing social service by bringing scholarship to those who really are in need. They have already sent 3 students in full scholarship. is that a joke or mistake? think seriosly before making ur own judgement and blame.

I am impressed by the commitment and the spirit of volunteerism of the WNSO-Nepal volunteer members. I wish them all the best.

Dear Sunilji,
Thank you for your cool information.
I was just wondering why the application fees are so high. And second thing, not only myself, many people know about the status of private colleges of UK. And you said its good, ok I trust you. And as you said you are assisting needy students by sum collected from application fee good to know that (at least dont spend it for scholarship distribution ceremony in a hotel!). But what if a good student cant pay the application fee, huh!

Anyway its good to know that those 3 got full scholarships (normally it should be 2000 to 2500 pound per year, not 7,500!).

And to other friends I know very well about WNSO and of course many people will have serious concern about the WNSO activities (either good or bad ones).

For career oriented students I suggest to try for university colleges for better future.

Dear Nepal?? Ji,

Thanks for your reply. WNSO Nepal definitely needs critical review from the people like you. In fact, we are in search of new honest members who can drive WNSO forward smoothly.

We will keep your suggestions in mind for future. Thanks once again.
