Rai Foundation Extends a Helping Hand:
Gifted Girl and Genius Award
ChildCare Rai Foundation has instituted exemplary scholarships - Gifted Girl and Genius Award (GGGA), a worldwide program exclusively for Girl Students. The main focus is providing better education and career opportunities for young women in the 21st century. The scholarship awards "GirlGenius" and "GiftedGirl" are to empower the deserving girl students throughout the world. The girl students are selected on merit-cum-need basis throughout the world.
Launching Careers for Girls-in-Need: Sterling Record
Child Care Rai Foundation has sponsored education of five girls of Udyan Care, an NGO. All the girls were asked to select a career of their choice from the bouquet of courses available at Rai Foundation.
Child Care Rai Foundation constantly endeavors to provide educational opportunities to those who need them the most.
A case in point, Swasthi Udyan of Udyan Care got full scholarship at College of Hospitality and Tourism, a part of Rai Foundation, under the Girl Genius Scholarship. Rai Foundation also sponsored her training in the U.K. Swasthi is a successful hotel professional.
Thanking the contributions of ChildCare-Rai Foundation, Dr. Kiran Modi Managing Trustee of Udyan Care said, "It is because of people like you (ChildCare-Rai Foundation) that we get encouragement to carry on with our endeavor of providing Quality Care to the Disadvantaged."
Inviting Nominations:
Full Scholarship UG/PG Programs for Underprivileged Girls
Today let us strive to empower the girl-child through Education. Professional higher education is crucial for the girl-child, in order to gain career competencies, leading to remunerative placement in industry and enhance self-esteem in the society. There is thus a great need to provide quality career programs to orphaned girl-students, in diverse professional fields viz. hospitality, fashion, media, business & management, air-hostess and other services, etc. Unfortunately, neither the private nor the public sector has taken any reformative initiative to address this glaring gap in inclusive education.
Let us recognise the need of the hour, and in partnership with Rai Foundation, with its strong commitment to women’s empowerment, grant scholarships to empower the most deserving female students. The “GirlGenius” (for the poor girls) and the “GiftedGirl” (for the Orphan Girl) scholarships will be awarded to 200 young women students each year; 100 under each category.
The Full Scholarships, for studying under any UG/PG program at Rai Foundation, will be awarded to brilliant students hailing from inadequate financial backgrounds; who have passed Senior Secondary School examination (Minimum) under a recognized board and seek to pursue higher studies. An eminent jury will select the scholars from amongst the nominations made by Schools, Colleges and NGOs.
