  • Why this scholarship is restricted to a few places and why not for students from other places?


    This scholarship is not just a financial assistance program. It includes training and internships also. Hence, we take clusters of students from one particular place instead of taking a few students from many places. This way we can offer more benefits to students rather than just giving financial assistance only. 


    Hence, we do this program in few selected places. When we get more sponsors, we will take this scholarship to more places.

    Yes, you can. Keep an eye on our social media channels and our events page where we post such training volunteering opportunities.

Payment to Students

  • How do you make the fee payment for students?

    We collect necessary proof from students (Original Bills, Bonafide etc) and make the payment directly to the student's bank account. We do both advance payments and reimbursement to the student.


  • Why are you not paying the fees to the college directly?

    Our students study in 194 colleges and every college has their own payment structure, perm terms and payment modes (Cheque, Cash, Online transfer etc) which makes it logistically difficult to pay them directly. Hence, we pay to the student bank account directly after collecting all the necessary proofs.

  • Won't the student misuse the funds if we directly pay the scholarship to their bank account?

    We collect necessary proofs (Original Bills, College Bonafide etc) before making the payment. So, there is no chance of a student misusing the funds.

  • Will Team Everest share periodic report about the student?

    Unfortunately NO. We do not have the required human resources to do this. We share you the student phone number upon request and you can do a periodic check with the student as per your convenience. This makes it more humane, transparent and flexible.
