Your generosity makes it all possible! Thank you for supporting the SHDF scholarship program and transforming lives through higher education. This year we were able to award 888 scholarships compared to 688 in 2019; a 29% increase from the 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 (77%) 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.
In the last 20 years, more than 7,300 students have been helped and many have graduated with professional degrees and found jobs of their choice. You can also sponsor a student in Punjab who needs financial help! Sponsor a student today by donating $540 for one year.
