“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”
– Nelson Mandela
This project has been operational since 2016. University students who are unable to pursue higher education due to their financial situation receive the scholarship award. This project has been setup to benefit the economically struggling university students from North and East for 3 academic years. This fund currently pays a monthly stipend of SLRs 2,000. There is an ever increasing demand for this kind of help in order to ensure a proper education for financially struggling youth. Fifty-seven beneficiaries from North & East received the scholarship in 2020.
These students are encouraged to engage in community service in return of this financial assistance.
