In 2022, SHDF provided a total of 1,256 scholarships, vis-a-vis 977 scholarships granted in 2021. The recipient demographics comprise 70% students from rural areas and 30% from urban areas; and 75% females and 25% males. Since its inception in 2001, SHDF has granted over 9,000 scholarships. Success stories of the gainfully employed are to be found in a wide variety of disciplines – engineering, agriculture, computer programming, law, teaching, nursing, medicine and accounting. They are a testament to the transformational effects of the scholarships, and strengthen our resolve to do more. SHDF has been steadily expanding its services, and currently has nine centers – eight in Punjab, one in Delhi, and one that will be operational by year-end in Karnal, Haryana. We are working in conjunction with our partner Nishkam to reach out to as many deserving students as possible. Two online workshops, attended by several hundred scholarship recipients were conducted this year, to impart training in leadership and soft-skills development.
In 2023, SHDF's goal is to grant 1400 scholarships. We are working towards initiating an online alumni forum that will facilitate mentorship, networking and giving back. Our aim is to open additional SHDF chapters in major locations and we welcome volunteers to join our team. Please write to us at info@shdf.org if you wish to volunteer.
We thank our generous supporters for your steadfast support and urge you to continue to donate generously to transform lives through education.
With deep gratitude,
The SHDF Team
