Mumbai October 21, 2009: GlobalScholar (USA), which manages one of the world’s largest online learning portals (www.globalscholar.com) and EducationWorld, India’s sole education news and analysis magazine, invite nominations for the GlobalScholar-EducationWorld Young Achievers Award 2009. The awards aim to acknowledge and inspire young achievers (between 12- 25 years of age) across India in four fields of endeavour - Science, Maths and Technology: Arts and Music: Social Work and Sports. Entry forms can be downloaded from www.Globalscholar.com/yaa or www.educationworldonline.net and duly completed forms must be submitted before December 12, 2009.

"The objective behind the awards is to give young Indians a platform to showcase their ideas and achievements. GlobalScholar, whose mission is to integrate and align all resources in education -- parents, students, tutors, teachers, administrators, and content -- to improve efficiency, performance, and educational access both inside and beyond the classroom, is pleased and proud to be associated with these young achievers awards. It’s our belief that there is no shortage of talented young people in this country with great ideas and achievements. We hope that these young achievers will serve as inspiration to all children and youth countrywide," says Kal Raman, founder chief-executive of the Seattle-based GlobalScholar.

Following the scrutiny of applications/nominations by IL&FS Education and Technology Services Ltd — India’s largest school curriculum and content development company — eight young achievers from across the country will be shortlisted for the final round of interviews. A hand-picked Global Scholar-EducationWorld jury will assess the all round development and personalities of shortlisted finalists. From among the finalists one Young Achiever in each category will be adjudged the GlobalScholar-EducationWorld Young Achievers 2009 at a unique celebratory convocation in Mumbai. All travel expenses of shortlisted finalists will be borne by sponsors.

Last year the four winners were awarded cash prizes, Compaq laptop computers, and specially commissioned silver and acrylic trophies. Moreover, the first four runners up received cash prizes as well. The winners this year will also receive cash prizes and exciting gifts, along with their trophies.
