The Way Forward

“For me, the scholarship has always been the way forward.”

K. Harshavardhan, scholarship class of 2021, now at IIT Jammu

Every year, talented students work toward the possibility of higher education. For many, the cost of continuing their studies can put that opportunity out of reach. An RDT scholarship helps keep that path open.

In 2021, Harshavardhan was selected for an RDT scholarship. The scholarship supported two years of Intermediate (pre-university) education at Sri Chaitanya College in Vijayawada, where he prepared for India’s competitive engineering entrance examinations.

Today, he studies Electronics and Communication Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Jammu.

Dr. Shabana followed the same scholarship pathway toward a different STEM career. After completing her Intermediate studies, she earned admission to medical school.

Today, she is a doctor caring for patients at a hospital in Kalyandurg.

“Every child will have a chance to know their aspiration and work for it.”
Dr. Shabana, scholarship graduate and doctor

Over the years, scholarship students have gone on to become doctors, engineers, educators and other professionals, building careers and supporting their families.

This year, 400 students received full scholarships. Since the program began in 2004:
287 scholarship students have secured admission to medical school.
38 have entered the Indian Institutes of Technology.

Support a Scholar’s Year

This year, 400 students earned their place in the scholarship program. Help us fund 70 of them by December 31.

Five years ago, Harshavardhan was one of these students. A gift of any size can help the next student move forward.
