Student scholarship :
At Sackhumvit Trust, we believe that every child is entitled to high a quality and well-rounded education. In line with this objective, we offer scholarships to meritorious students from underprivileged backgrounds for secondary school to higher-level studies, and extra-curricular activities. Sackhumvit Trust provides these scholarships through our partner organizations across India.

Dream School Champions – Dream School Foundation (DSF) :
** Dream School Champions provides scholarships to high-caliber, meritorious, and socioeconomically deprived students from lower middle class and poor families in the 8th and 9th standards. The objective of this project is for scholarship recipients to gain admissions to topnotch colleges or other institutions of higher level studies (e.g. vocational and technical schools), and to find career opportunities in their field of interest. Dream School Champions aims to create leadership at a young age; subsequently transforming program beneficiaries into greater heights in terms of academic discipline, work ethic, community service and personal development.
** Sackhumvit Trust and DSF have awarded scholarships to 10 students from IISC, Santhebeedi, Rajarajeshwari, and Bapu Balika Schools, all of which are located at or near Yeshwantpur, Bangalore. Students were selected through a rigorous interview process that considered their academic performance, overall attitude and commitment to their educational development, income level and household circumstances, gender, minority status, and learning disabilities.
** Benefits of the scholarship program includes financial coverage of secondary and college-level tuition fees; an annual allowance for school supplies; private tutoring based on the academic requirements of each student; career counseling and networking opportunities; life skills training; exposure trips focused on leadership and teambuilding skills; parenting workshops with family counselors; and participation in a mentoring program.

Music and the Arts Student Scholarships (MASS)
** Education not only enhances the economic opportunities available to members of a society, but also preserves a society’s cultural heritage by inculcating young minds with knowledge of history, literature, music, art, and so on. The mission of MASS is to empower India’s low-income youth to explore their cultural identities through well-rounded educational experiences focused on music and the arts. MASS is a scholarship program that finances the artistic studies of low-income students demonstrating talent in the arts, and who are committed to developing a livelihood based on their aesthetic abilities.
** Sackhumvit Trust has awarded annual scholarships to four students of Indian classical music at SAPTHAK, Bangalore. Scholarship recipients were selected by Mrs. Gita Hegde, the founder of SAPTHAK, through careful consideration of student talent and socio-economic factors such household income / circumstances, gender, and minority status. Scholarship benefits include regular lessons with highly qualified instructors in Indian classical music and tabla, along with performance opportunities to gain exposure to the professional scene of Indian classical music.
