Help a Student become a Graduate

Higher education, still not for all in India

Do you know that only 8 in 100 is a graduate in India?

With annual tuition fees for undergraduate studies in Government colleges averaging around INR 36,000/-, higher education is still not easily accessible to everyone.

It’s for privileged ones like you and me to step in and try to improve this disparity in access to higher education.

Alright, you would like to help, but don’t know how to go about?

Let me introduce you to Team Everest. Team Everest is one of the biggest youth-run NGOs in India with 25,000+ volunteers. Their vision is to inspire everyone to volunteer and create a culture of giving. They create 100s of volunteering opportunities throughout the year where anyone from the age of 3 can volunteer.

Team Everest has sponsored 3600 graduate students since 2016. This year, they look to sponsor 1000 new students.

I am fundraising to help at least 1 student join college. The students are Parentless, Single Parented, and Financially Poor. Support my fundraiser and together let’s educate a child and change their story forever!

About the Scholarship

Team Everest's 'I am the Change' scholarship supports parentless, single-parented, financially poor students and helps them become graduates. They have sponsored the graduation of 3600+ students to date.

It costs Rs 42,000 (Approx. USD 525) per student per year. Most students do a 3-year graduation course, but Team Everest also supports 4 and 5 years courses. It costs Rs 1,26,000 (Rs 42,000*3 years) or USD 1575 to make one student a graduate.

As part of this scholarship, students not only get financial assistance. They get at least year long employability skill training each year. Additionally, they get to do Internships in Corporates or Startups and get guidance to find a job during their final year.
