With 11 scholars we can proudly say that 25% of our class (which is one fourth of our class!) has made the merit cut-off! We are super proud of our ‘gang’. Let’s have a drum roll and call out the credits…

The scholarship examination training prepares them for so many competitive examinations in the future. They get used to fast thinking, performing under pressure or rather, not getting pressurised and even finding patterns, links and connections. They understand the rigors of hard work and they enjoy the fruits of their labour in terms of their success. It’s not something that’s easy and these kids are already setting their mark! We should really appreciate them and encourage them and motivate their peers to perform as well. And the current 7th standard students are starting preparations for the 8th scholarship as well.

Now here’s the thing – the Maharashtra Government offers scholarship awards (Rs. 25 per month for three years, so Rs. 900) ONLY to students enrolled in SSC schools. We are a CBSE school. Therefore, these kids don’t get that money from the state government.

We had a felicitation function on June 30th, where we invited all the parents and gave our “Scholars” a certificate and a trophy.
