Aaghaz Scholarships
Investing in a student's future through transparent, donor-backed scholarships. Every scholarship is awarded following an in-person field check, with yearly progress reports sent to donors.
Empower a scholar to complete their education with dignity.
Many donors support Aaghaz by funding targeted scholarships. You can start a scholarship in memory of a parent, child, mentor, or friend, or contribute to our general scholarship pool to support high-priority verified cases.
Every scholarship recipient is verified by our volunteers through an in-person home visit. Donors receive an annual progress pack containing the scholar's marksheets, academic milestones, and personal notes.

Stories From Aaghaz
Meet some of the students we have supported and read about the people and work behind Aaghaz.
There was a time when completing my law degree seemed very difficult because I simply did not have the financial means. I received support throughout my five-year course, including a monthly stipend, and even help with medical treatment when I fell ill. I was able to finish my studies and become an advocate. It was a dream I had worked towards for years, and today I am living it.
Becoming a doctor was my dream, but getting through medical college required far more than ambition. I received support throughout my MBBS for college and hostel fees, books and even my monthly expenses. That meant I could concentrate on my studies instead of constantly worrying about how the next fee would be paid. Today, I am a doctor working in paediatric surgery at Medical College Kolkata.
I received the Coding Ninjas course through Aaghaz at a stage when I wanted to improve my coding but did not have access to the kind of training I needed. The course helped me build both my skills and confidence. I recently received a Software Engineer offer of around ₹23 LPA. For me, that offer is much more than a salary package. It shows how far I have been able to come.
