SEP 2, 2018
It was another successful year for the SHDF scholarship program. This year, with your generous support, we were able to award 656 scholarships, compared to 550 in 2017; a 20% increase from last year! Scholarship checks were distributed in ceremonies organized by our partner organization, Nishkam Sikh Welfare Council, in cities of Amritsar, Faridkot, Chandigarh, Ludhiana and New Delhi. Majority of the scholarship recipients were female students (80%) and, that too, mostly from rural areas. These children are studying in disciplines like medicine, engineering, agriculture, nursing, information technology, business administration, law and several other subjects.
To help our scholarship recipients secure good jobs, a two-day soft skills and personality development workshop was organized at Guru Kashi University, Talwandi Sabo, Punjab on April 27, and 28.
Thank you for supporting the SHDF Scholarship Program and transforming lives through higher education. Your generosity makes it all possible!
