[Scholarships-(Archived)]
Ambedkar Scholarships
Started with just 2 scholarships in 2003, Ambedkar Scholarships has well received by the donors from all over the world. We attract donors form internet and through a word of mouth. A total of 103 scholarships were given in 2007 that includes 10 each in Tamilnadu and Uttar Pradesh. We have given 25 scholarships to children from scavenging families (SCS) and 10 to orphans of 2004 Tsunami in Tamilnadu. Though it is more streamlined in selecting students in Andhra Pradesh, we are depending on dedicated activists in other states to identify students. Though we wanted to start in Maharashtra in 2007, we failed in 2007 as we were not able to identify dedicated volunteers. We have requests from Karnataka and Kerala as well for 2008. We will do so depending on the availability of funding this year.
