Dr. Jaspreet Kaur Dhanjal
An intelligent student, Jaspreet scored distinction in the 12th standard. She got admitted to B.Tech. in Bio-Technology at Amity University, Noida. Her father’s income as a mechanic was very small for educating three children. Her elder brother gave up education due to
financial scarcity which put stress on young Jaspreet’s mind. “I wanted to overcome the fear of my family’s financial condition. I came to know about SHDF scholarship from one of my neighbors. When SHDF through Nishkam came up with its scholarships for underprivileged students, word spread like fire especially in our area as we are near to the Nishkam office. While my course fee was more than one lakh yearly, SHDF paid quite a good scholarship amount which lessened the burden from my father’s shoulders.”

She has then worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Tsukuba Japan.
