To a Only Girl Child
Scholarships for the single girl child do vent upon more on promising a bright and better future for the candidates and offering good roles to them in society.
This is a known situation that girl students are not getting the proper focus as that of the boys in various states of the country. It not only retards the country’s growth rather comes as a stagnant point in the smooth functioning of the educational bone of the nation.
So Academy of Excellence decided a Scholarship Scheme for Single Girl Child with an aim to compensate the cost of girl education for study in Academy of Excellence especially for such girls who happen to be the only girl child in their family.
Scholarship Scheme | Scholarship Amount (Per Course) |
Scholarship for a Single Girl Child of Parents | 3000 INR per Subject |
Student must have min 75% marks in 10th.
The last date to get this scholarship scheme is 30 July 2019
To a Single Parent-Child
Raising a child on your own can be challenging, particularly since single-parent households tend to have significantly lower incomes. It can be a struggle to cover the cost of basic needs, much less save for a college education. Fortunately, we are providing scholarships to help children of single-parent.
