Future India Scholarship
Scholarship for poverty-stricken high school students
We are trying to raise funds for a scholarship for extremely poor and needy students in West Bengal. We aim to help 30 high school students with Rs. 500 per month for one year. Apart from this, a separate emergency fund of Rs. 1,00,000 is being formed for essential needs of a student like application form fees or admission fees. Please help as much as you can so that some bright minds can continue their education.
