One of the first areas we supported in 2010 was helping older students complete their education. We aimed to remove the financial barrier faced by students from marginalised backgrounds. The final four years of schooling incur considerable costs, putting pressure on low-income families. As a result, many of these students drop out of their education. Calcutta Connect provides sponsorships to these students to remove the financial barrier. This support increases their prospects and enables them to complete their education. By offering sponsorships, we have seen more students progress and complete their education.
Our Programme Supports Students Covers the Costs of
Stationary & School Supplies
School Fees & Tuitions
Textbooks for all Subjects
School Uniforms and Clothing
We support up to 200 students through sponsorships to complete board examinations and finish their education each year. We do not discriminate in any way in selecting students for our programme and do not apply any criteria for choosing students. Instead, once students reach Class 9, they automatically enter our student sponsorship programme facilitated through our local partner. Many students who have completed their secondary school education have pursued further studies at third level in colleges and training institutions. Since 2010, we have supported hundreds of students in helping them to complete their education.
