About
What We Do
Vahani Scholarship nurtures and funds individuals with exceptional and untapped capability to study at top Universities across India for an undergraduate degree.
Who We Are
Children who have had to suffer the violence of poverty and prejudice from the day they were born to develop inner strength; their demand for life and their need to survive, gives birth to a spirit of innovation second to none.
That spirit, when recognised, cared for and mentored is a massive power source, a power that will promote the individual and change society. At Vahani we believe that we can achieve this only through education.
Vahani Scholarship is a non-profit organisation that recognises the importance of opening doors for the exceptionally brilliant underprivileged children in India. Our mission is to send Indian students who come from extenuating circumstances to the top universities across India. We take a two-pronged approach: full financial support combined with holistic development.
By creating a close-knit community of scholars with exceptional talent, we hope to create leaders who will be the inspiration and agents of change in their local communities. We have no religious or political affiliations.
We created Vahani as we saw a gap in support for higher education. We provide close mentorship to each student through our board members and network of professionals in Delhi. This includes guidance in the selection of colleges, courses and internships. Senior Vahani Scholars mentor the new scholars closely, building a family like community.
Our Mission
Our mission is to facilitate education to 30 children per year from India by funding and training them to attend the top universities across India. We hope to bring about a change in their home communities and seek to build a network in every state in India.
We believe in a holistic approach by mentoring these exceptional children so that their talent is harnessed to become future leaders in the public, private, non-profit sectors and in their home communities.
Our Vision
To create an India where the most gifted children flourish, regardless of their socioeconomic status, race or gender.
Marshalling gifted underserved students and committed educational philanthropists, we will enable such an ideal to manifest.
