Student Scholarship

To support needy students, particularly female students, seeking to pursue higher education in the technical stream, Lend A Hand India has been implementing a Scholarship program since 2011. The scholarship duration is three years, covering tuition, books, lodging and boarding, and travel expenses. No collateral is required for this scholarship except a recommendation from the school principal and the class teachers from where the students have completed the vocational skill course/subject. The continuation of the scholarship from year to year is contingent upon completing each year of the course. LAHI has disbursed scholarships close to Rs. 14 million in the past ten years.

As a social responsibility, the scholars are encouraged to contribute to the scholarship fund upon completing the course and getting a job. About 40% of scholars have contributed to the Scholarship Fund as per their ability.
