The University of York Mumbai has introduced the Mayor’s Gateway Scholarship in collaboration with David Skaith, the Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, to assist two students from Mumbai in pursuing their education in York, England. The scholarship, funded by the University of York Mumbai, will provide these selected students with the opportunity to study in York and gain exposure to the region’s business environment through work experience opportunities.

The scholarship announcement was made during Mayor Skaith’s trade mission to India, which seeks to strengthen economic, educational, and research ties between the UK region and India.

Speaking about the initiative, Mayor Skaith highlighted the importance of the trade mission in building stronger relationships and expanding ties with India. He emphasized that the University of York Mumbai offers academic expertise in a rapidly growing major economy, focusing on research related to global challenges such as food security and advanced technologies. The Mayor expressed his pleasure in supporting the scholarship, which allows students to study across two continents and experience life in two cities.

The University of York Mumbai welcomed its inaugural class in September, offering undergraduate and graduate programs in computer science with artificial intelligence and cyber security, business, and creative industries. The institution has also established the Institute for Good Society, a research and policy institute dedicated to addressing pressing global issues such as climate change, urbanization, and artificial intelligence.

This scholarship announcement aligns with the visit of Mayor Skaith and a group of businessmen to India, aimed at strengthening economic links between York and North Yorkshire. The delegation, part of the larger Great North delegation of over 200 delegates, is traveling to Delhi, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.
