I am Jessica, the sister of Aaron. My brother Aaron is studying in the 7th standard. He has a very good general knowledge and is also good at his studies. So, I got my son registered for the program as soon as I came to know about the HDFC scholarship program.
All I had to do was fill an online registration form to get my son registered, then HDFC bank contacted me regarding the further details of when the test has to be taken.
As the last date for registration to the program is 28th Feb 09, I would request parents or the siblings having students studying from 4th -9th standard at home to get them registered for the program.
