We have received 108 eligible applications for HOPE Scholarships (School) 2009. These applicants, on average have obtained 72% marks during the last academic year and belong to families (with 5 members, on average) supported by an income of Rs. 25,000/- p.a (USD 556/- p.a.)

We need at least Rs. 2,80,000/- to support these applicants this year. However, based on available funds, we can only support about 35 of them at this time.

PLEASE HELP as much as you can, to enable these deserving and needy students. A donation of USD 55/- (Rs. 2475/-) can help us fund the scholarship for 1 student.

We would like to start disbursing scholarships by December 15th 2009. We will be able to support as many students as possible based on your help with funds.

For donation details, Please see the original post in this thread.

Thank you all for your ongoing support.

Best Regards,
