Scholarships/Grants for Underprivileged kids

Connecting Dreams Foundation-Gargi is pleased to share a consolidated list of opportunities and initiatives that are useful for individuals belonging to marginalised communities. CDF strongly feels about education and believes that no kid should be deprived of it due to lack of funds. The Covid-19 pandemic has cost many low income households their livelihood and many children their dreams. We are immensely grateful for all that we are blessed with and believe there are simple ways in which we can help those less fortunate than us. The gift of education can be immensely transformative for families.

Here’s a list of opportunities and education schemes in India.
