Punjab student scholarships

Mr Manpreet Singh, SHDF Board Member, said, “SHDF has been able to provide scholarships to over 4,000 students and more than 1,500 students have graduated and become professionals.” Many of them are supporting their siblings and have also started to donate back to SHDF.

SHDF’s scholarship is based on need and merit. Students are selected from colleges and universities throughout Punjab and surrounding areas with vigorous screening by the SHDF India Division based in New Delhi. Most of the students receiving assistance are from families earning less than a dollar a day per person. This programme is executed in partnership with sister organization Nishkam Sikh Welfare Council based in New Delhi.
