The Adhyapana Scholarship scheme

The Adhyapana Trust started providing students with scholarships right from its inception.Over the years we have streamlined the process to include necessary documentation, verification and follow-up.The most important criteria for the scholarships is the economic condition of the student and the actual need for monetary help.Here we attempt to describe how scholarships are processed by us.

Each Adhyapana Scholar is usually referred to our trust by voluneetrs.Once we receive an application for the scholarship, we do a complete background check of the candidate.This includes a home visit by the trust members and interviews of all members of the student's family.

The academic background is the verified through a visit to the educational institution.We meet the principal and teachers to check the students' academic performance and fee requirement.The economic background of the family is verified through home visits and asset verification using relevant documents.

Based on these inputs the team decides on the amount of scholarship that can be provided to the candidate.Once the scholarship is approved, it is issued through cheque directly to the educational institution so that the scholarship is not used for any other purpose.

We also do a follow-up with the Adhyapana scholars and keep track of their academic performance throughout the year.Each Adhyapana scholar's details is maintained as a separate fils within the trust.All receipts, and certificates are regularly collected and updated in the student profiles.

We support our scholarships through donations and income from trainings.All income generated by the trust is used solely for the purpose of furthering education and youth empowerment. Our accounts are regularly audited.The trust already has gained 80G and 12A  tax exemption certificates.
