The DV Gokhale International Grants/Loans in Statistics Program
Summary:
In response to the interest and inquiry of Dr. DV Gokhale, the Institute of International Education (IIE) has established The DV Gokhale International Grants/Loans in Statistics Program through donations and a bequest from Dr. Gokhale. This unique and much-needed program will provide grants and/or loans*: (a) to Indian undergraduate and graduate students to study statistics in the United States; (b) to American undergraduate and graduate students to study statistics and related subjects in India; and (c) to support faculty exchanges in this field between the United States and India.
Background:
Dr. DV Gokhale, Professor Emeritus of Statistics at the University of California at Riverside, received a Fulbright travel grant to study in the United States in the 1960s through IIE. This experience was one of the most important in his life, as it gave him the opportunity to study and make contacts in the United States. It eventually led to the move of Dr. Gokhale and his family to the United States, where they have been settled for the past 40 years. In appreciation of his experience and with the desire to give other students and faculty this same opportunity, Dr. Gokhale would like to establish a grants program focused on helping Indian students to study statistics in the United States, American students to study statistics and related subjects in India and to enable faculty members in this field to participate in exchanges between the two countries.
Program Details:
The DV Gokhale Program would reflect the following interests of the donor:
- Field of Interest: Statistics.
- Institutions of Interest: Institutions of Interest**; University of Pune; University of California at Berkeley; University of California at Riverside; colleges and universities in California.
- Countries of Interest: India; United States.
- Recipients of Interest: undergraduate students; graduate students; faculty.

*Each candidate will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine whether to award as a full grant, full loan, or a combination of the two. Re-payment of loans will be a legal obligation of the borrower pursuant to a contract between the recipient and IIE.
** If suitable candidates are not available within the Institutions of Interest, other candidates may also be considered.
