A lot of NGOs provide an ecosystem to support students from underprivileged backgrounds to pursue their primary and secondary education. However this support often ends after the 10th grade causing a lot of students specially girls to drop out of the system due to family pressure & financial constraints. They go back to a life of oppression where they are forced to stay at home, get married or even pushed into earning a living through labour intensive jobs.
Their education fails to uplift them from their environment and prevents upward generational socio-economic mobility.
Named after Savitribai Phule who pioneered education for girls in India, the Savitribai-FEELL Scholarship program identifies girls from underprivileged backgrounds with tremendous leadership potential in the 10th grade and enrolls them into a holistic educational ecosystem for 30 months that completely funds their entire future education and helps get them admissions into the top universities in India and the world.
