Prayas Charity Profile
One of the main focus areas of Prayas is its Students Support Program, which provides scholarships / financial assistance to deserving and needy students to start or continue basic, higher or vocational education. A well defined operational process and a network of committed volunteers in India and USA ensures effective implementation of this program.
An individual student seeking financial assistance from Prayas must be in a situation where he/she cannot start or continue his/her education for lack of funds. Such determination is made by Prayas’s volunteers based on a set of defined criteria and guidelines.
Support covers expenses like school/college fees, books, study materials, uniform, commuting, etc. Support is provided for one year at a time. Continuation of support is decided every year based on student’s performance and any changed circumstances. A Prayas volunteer is attached to each supported student as a mentor, who guides the student as needed, periodically monitors his/her studies progress, and coordinates expense reimbursements.
Appropriate review and monitoring mechanisms are implemented to ensure effective and transparent operation of the program.
