Girls Scholarship

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

Mahatma Gandhi

Leader of the Indian independence movement

We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Civil rights leader

There are many people who are eager and willing to support a good cause, but hesitate because they do not know what happens to the money they donate. With Sneha Karma, I don't have to worry about this.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

What the Program Provides

  • Tuition and fees for college and higher education, so cost never ends her studies.
  • Accommodation and living support where studying means living away from home.
  • Books, materials and technology — including a laptop or device where her course requires one.
  • Mentoring and coaching — a steady adult who guides her choices, tracks her progress and helps her through the hard weeks.
  • Career guidance — help choosing a course, preparing for interviews, and finding the first rung of her career.
  • Connection to our other programs — so a graduate can move on to skills training and a livelihood of her own.
What the program provides

Outcomes & Progress

Success is a scholar who enrols, stays, and graduates. It is a young woman who becomes the first graduate in her family, who earns her own living, and who returns to her community as proof of what a girl can become. We measure enrolment and completion, academic progress, and the path each scholar takes after her studies.

What success looks like

Who This Serves

Scholars are girls who have already shown what they can do against the odds — most often girls who came up through our Support-A-Girl program, or who are recommended by teachers and partner organisations in the communities we serve. We look for commitment and potential, not privilege: ability to study, a clear purpose, and a family willing to stand behind her. Where family income is a barrier, the scholarship is what makes the difference between applying and attending.

Once selected, a scholar is not simply funded and forgotten. She is mentored, tracked and encouraged — because our promise is not just to pay a fee, but to see her through to a qualification and a future she can build on.
