Education is more than classrooms and exams—it’s the foundation upon which dreams are built. But for many bright students from economically challenged backgrounds, higher education remains just a dream due to resource constraints. At Shiksha Prayas, we make sure that financial hardship doesn’t stand in the way of ambition. Through our programs—scholarships for higher education, free tuition centres, mentorship, counseling, and access to learning tools—we help students like Varsha translate their dreams into reality.

Varsha’s Journey: From Aspiration to Ambition
Meet Varsha—a determined student with a dream to pursue psychology. Hindered by financial limitations, her academic path seemed uncertain. Through Shiksha Prayas, she received a scholarship for her M.A. in Psychology at Kurukshetra University, along with mentorship and resources to prepare for UGC NET and a Diploma in Guidance and Counseling.
Today, Varsha embodies resilience and hope. Her journey is not just her own—it reflects how one scholarship can light up a future, inspire a family, and become a catalyst for community growth.

Our scholarship support does more than cover costs—it liberates students to focus on learning and personal growth. For many, scholarships include:
