- By supporting SHDF, you are helping transform lives.
- Since 2001, SHDF Scholarships are putting higher education within the reach of highly deserving and motivated students in Punjab and neighboring states, who would otherwise be left behind due to exceedingly low family income.
- We are the premier organization outside India to provide such funding.
- Our funding is based on voluntary donations, and the immense need for scholarships far exceed our financial resources.
- Our operating principles are based on transparency, accountability, and low administrative cost. Our accounts are audited every year and are available to donors.
Education is the only sustainable solution to the particular challenges the youth in Punjab are facing, including a rapid rise of drug addiction.
Your contribution is critical for the struggling youth. Their future, their family’s and communities’ future is dependent on education. They must not remain excluded from the economic opportunities. With your contribution, you can help us make it happen.
Current Goals
Provide 1,400+ scholarships annually in the coming years.
Increase the number of soft-skill development workshops for the graduating students.
Reach out to a broader range of potential donors in the US, UK, Canada and other countries to increase our funding base.
