We identify vulnerable youth between 16–21 years who cannot afford to continue higher education. Our support includes college fees, books, transport, and counselling. These young adults also attend workshops on financial literacy, mental health, career counselling, and life skills—turning them into changemakers for tomorrow.
Children who after clearing standard 10th is not able to join college/ higher education or such Children already in higher education, but has to drop out for some unavoidable circumstances. We support such Children to pursue their higher education dreams in any field they chose to. The support will cease at the age of 21 years or at the completion of the specific course/college/graduation, or the beneficiary being out of project (shifted, left city/village/town etc, parents now able to support completely, or any other reason) whichever is reasonable.
This will be a support cum matching grant program, which means we will support a specific and major part of the contribution required for the higher education, and a small and minimal part to be contributed by the Parent/guardian etc, to make it a complete sustainable project. Support may include one or various component of the higher education program i.e. college fees, books, travel, vocational training support etc, the project will not support any coaching/Tuition or support classes or any classes related to entrance exams. The cost of per child per year will be prefixed each year depending upon the fees charged by college or factors of contributions to be made by Parents. However the quantum of amount would depend on the need, family support and its contribution, also it will depend on various other factors like inflation, price rise etc. We also follow a very careful selection process to ensure we are reaching out to the most deserving students, and no mínimum academic percentage is required to enroll in the program.
During their entire term with us, these Young minds undergo various skill building sessions organised by us. These sessions are combined with bi-Monthly meetings. Topics mainly covered are: Financial Literacy, Anger Management, Love and affection, career counselling, etc.
Specialised, personalised and group counselling is done of every candidate by a professional counsellor on any issues they may face.
After completion of their academics they are guided and supported for their career, by helping them with preparing for their placements to secure a job or to be an entrepreneur.
