This scholarship is currently offered in Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai, and Bengaluru. Depending on the funds we raise, we will expand it to many more places in the future.

Yes. You'll be able to meet the student who you are sponsoring. You can meet the student along with a representative from Team Everest.

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.

From Aptitude to Attitude, we will train students on every aspect to make them employable. There will be minimum of 100 hours of training - 60 hours of classroom training & 40 hours of phone training. Now, because of Covid, all the training happen via Phone until the situation becomes normal.

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

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.

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.

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

Yes. We let every donor know who their student is by December 31st every year.

Yes. We share the student mobile number upon request once we tag the student to you in December.

Our admin cost for this scholarship program is Rs 2000 per student which is 4.7% of the scholarship cost.
