Adding to its list of landmark initiatives, Shubhash Ghai’s Whistling
Woods International (WWI) has announced the Lata Mangeshkar Scholarship
for its meritorious students in the name of the legendary singer.
The scholarship will carry a 100% fee waiver for 2/3 year programmes in the institute. Ghai and her daughter Meghna Ghai Puri, president of WWI along with some students met the singer to invite her to receive the 2016 Whistling Woods Maestro Award at its 9th Convocation on July 18.
Mangeshkar accepted a proposal to institute an annual scholarship. She said “I am deeply touched by this great gesture of Subhashji, Meghna and their team.”
Adds Ghai senior “It is our great honour to have Lataji’s acceptance for our attempt to inspire the next generation of Indian filmmakers. This scholarship will continue to benefit students for decades to come.”
While WWI provides scholarships to meritorious yet indigent students every year, this is the second special 100% scholarship in the name of a legend of Indian Cinema. Three years ago, WWI had introduced the Dilip Kumar Scholarship as a tribute to the thespian.
