The International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (IIIT-H) is an autonomous university founded in 1998. It was set up as a not-for-profit public private partnership (N-PPP) and is the first IIIT to be set up (under this model) in India. The Government of Andhra Pradesh lent support to the institute by grant of land and buildings. A Governing Council consisting of eminent people from academia, industry and government presides over the governance of the institution. The Institute has grown a lot in 15 years and has earned recognition in the industry, academic and other public arenas. A key contributor to this recognition is each and every one of you who are our ambassadors in the places you have been since leaving the Institute, be it academia or Industry or entrepreneurship.
Why IIIT-H needs your supportSustaining high quality of education and research -- with a major impact on the society at large -- is pivotal in the growth of an academic institution. Good infrastructural support (buildings, equipment, networks, etc,) and high quality human resources (faculty, staff, etc.) are critical to a quality institution. IIIT, Hyderabad is a unique institution in its structure. It is autonomous; with the latitude to quickly decide and act on its own, which is priceless. However, as an autonomous institution, we are expected to generate our own operational revenues and funds to build our infrastructure. Our goal is to scale up from a 1,500 student university today to a 4,000 student university in ten years. This means not just more students, but also research across more domains and hence more impact. This requires a delicate balance between quality and affordability of education which can be achieved largely through philanthropic gestures from multiple sources, of which alumni can play a key role. The alumni fund was set up in 2006 as a modality for alumni to have a direct hand in helping the Institute grow. The fund has been used to provide tuition support for meritorious student in financial need. The total money raised from alumni and caution deposit donations is ~ Rs 69 lakhs. So far this scheme has benefited 33 students. Of these, 13 students have already paid back the loans they received. In this round of fund raising, alumni can choose to contribute in the following categories:
Donors will be give the right to choose a scholarship named as they please provided the donation is sufficient to support the complete studies of a student.
