Frequently Asked Questions [FAQs]

2. Will I be required to pay any amount to be a part of the programme?
No. The programme is fully funded and includes access to all the sessions, materials provided, and food. However, you will have to make your own arrangements for your travel to and from Delhi.

3. I want to attend only a few sessions in the programme. Would that be okay?
No. SFP is a full time residential programme and Fellows would be expected to attend all sessions. We expect the Fellows to not have any other engagements during the duration of the SFP.

4. I am not very good at writing. Will it be okay if I am a part of the SFP and do not write the reflective essay/article?
SFP is structured to provide writing support to the Fellows. The reflective essay/paper would be an integral part of the SFP and we expect all Fellows to write at least one essay/paper. But if you want to write more, you are more than welcome.

In this regard, RRCEE would be willing to provide any information that would stand to be useful.
