SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarships are the largest part of DURGA's ongoing commitment to removing barriers to education. A scholarship provides the funds to pay for 1 year of tuition or extra coaching classes to support a student's academic success. A list of all scholarship recipients is available by year below. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, there has been a distinct and urgent need for scholarships, especially as many of the students we support rely on parent's daily wages which were absent for months because of quarantine.
Wherever possible, complete amounts of full year tuition were given to the school/tuition center and a receipt taken, to ensure the funds were used to provide the child's education. Examples of some of the receipts are displayed.
In some cases, there was no mechanism to give the whole amount in one payment. In such cases, the family was instructed to come every month to Mr. Devki Nandan of Village Trilokpur to take a monthly scholarship, and, after depositing it to the tuition center, bring the receipt to Mr. Nandan. This was done to ensure that the funds were not used by the family for any other purpose other than the child’s education. |
