Right time for higher education is very crucial for any bright and economically weaker student in his or her life. Aiming to help such ignited minds with wings of fire, Isha Foundation has been granting scholarships to many of them so as to give an opportunity to pursue higher studies.
According to a Foundation release, students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds – a majority of them girls – received Isha scholarships on Sunday at a ceremony in Isha Vidhya School at Poluvampatti near Thondamuthur. Isha has been offering scholarships for the past five years.
Under Isha’s own rural education programme, Isha Vidhya offers high quality, low-cost education to students in rural Tamil Nadu to equip them to compete for mainstream employment. Its innovative school infrastructure and pedagogy has been designed with a focus on retaining girl students and overall reduction of school dropout rates in rural Tamil Nadu.
