City-boy Anurag Gogineni has been selected as the recipient of the University of Cincinnati’s (UC) coveted Global Scholarship, worth US $100,000, the only recipient for this year.
The scholarship which pays for the full tuition of US $25,000, renewable for four years, totaling a value of US $100,000, will help Gogineni pursue his Bachelor’s degree at UC, commencing this August.
In a brief chit-chat with City Express, Anurag tells us about his achievement.
“While I was a student at FIT-JEE, I realised I wasn’t very interested in engineering. So I started looking for other subjects which appealed to me and business studies stood out the most. My teachers really helped when I was preparing for the SAT tests. I worked through books like Kaplan and Princeton review, which ultimately helped me score well,” said the Jubilee Hills Public school alumnus who scored 2200 in his SAT, just 200 points shy from the perfect score.
So, besides the scholarship, what else is he excited about?
“UC has an amazing co-op program that lets students get hired by respected companies, while still studying. This has multiple benefits; you can pay back your tuition fees, work in the summer so you can keep down your living expenses, get valuable experience and if you’re at least above average in performance, get a job once you graduate!
I’m also looking forward to the Fall programmes like the University Honors, Kolodzik Business Scholars, and professional fraternities like Alpha Kappa Psi and Delta Sigma Pi.”
Once armed with his Bachelor’s degree, Anurag has his eyes set on becoming a banker. “The area I’m interested in is finance. I hope to be an investment banker or financial consultant.”
