About this Scholarship
This entry describes the Shiksha Sahyog scholarship scheme associated with NSDL, aimed at school students at the class 8 stage rather than at college level. Schemes of this kind are funded by a corporate or institutional donor and are usually intended to keep children from low income households in school through the higher secondary years, with support renewed each year if the student continues to perform. The listing records it as a privately funded scheme.
