(Riya Singh, Intern Journalist) Patna: Patna boy Ritik Raj has been awarded the prestigious ‘Arrupe Scholarship’ to pursue a bachelor’s degree at Georgetown University in Washington DC (USA). He has secured a full scholarship worth Rs 2.5 crore, which will cover the entire expenses for his four-year studies. He had passed Class X and XII examinations from Radiant International School with flying colors.
“Coming from a humble middle-class family of Bikram, I feel really grateful to receive a full scholarship to study in one of America’s leading universities. This is a great moment for me and my parents, who have worked hard all their lives to offer me a good education,” Ritik said.
The Arrupe Scholarship is offered to those who show promise of contributing significantly to the common good within their own countries and throughout the world.
Ritik had represented the country at multiple international platforms, including at Yale University in the US in 2016 and at an international debate competition in Thailand in the same year. To secure admission to Georgetown University, he had appeared in the American College Testing and secured 99 percentiles.
“It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the Committee on Admissions has admitted you to the Georgetown University,” Charles A Deacon, Dean of Admissions at Georgetown University, wrote in his letter to Ritik.
