Team Everest - I am the Change Scholarship
‘I am the change scholarship' is an initiative of Team Everest NGO through which we provide scholarship for single parented/parentless students who are good at academics, but are financially challenged to pursue graduation.
This scholarship is only for Parentless & Single Parented students who are from financially challenged families. We provide this scholarship currently in Chennai, Coimbatore & Madurai and have plans to expand to other places in future.

I was selling Samosas in streets in 2008. Today, I'm an automobile engineer working in a big corporate. Without Team Everest Scholarship, I would be selling Samosas in street. I'm happy to sponsor a student for their education now.

Support for Education
Many children drop out after school and don't go to college due to financial constraints. Together we can change it.
We want to sponsor at least 420 Parentless & Single Parented Students from Chennai who are completing Plus-2 in 2020 for their college education.
