Money should neverbe the reason a childleaves school.

Four kinds of support, each built around a real barrier that keeps children out of the classroom. All of it funded by donors, none of it charged to a family.

What we offer

Four kindsof support.

Merit scholarship

For students who excel — tuition, books and exam fees, so a strong result is never wasted for lack of money.

Girl child scholarship

Dedicated support to keep girls in the classroom, with extra mentoring and family counselling so they finish school.

Need-based support

For the most financially stretched homes — a full or partial grant, decided case by case, regardless of caste or community.

Digital learning grant

Tablets, data and a computer-lab seat for students on the NIOS pathway and our digital-skills courses.
