Student Aid Programme
Financial support for eligible school and college students in India whose education is threatened by financial distress, parental illness, or unexpected family crisis.
No talented student should drop out because of tuition fees.
Before applying, please read our eligibility requirements carefully. Aaghaz supports students in India whose education is genuinely at risk because of financial hardship. Depending on need, assistance covers school fees, college tuition, board exam dues, uniforms, textbooks, and essential study materials.
Every application goes through a transparent verification process before aid is disbursed. Two Aaghaz volunteers visit the student's home, meet their family, and verify details directly with the school or college administration.
Who Can Receive Help
Families with genuine financial distress, single-parent homes, or unexpected income loss that threatens schooling.
Satisfactory past academic records, regular attendance, and a demonstrated desire to complete education.
Mandatory home and school check by local Aaghaz volunteers to guarantee that donor funds reach the right child.
What Student Aid Covers
We ensure that lack of funds never interrupts a student's classroom attendance or exam participation.
School & Exam Fees
Annual tuition, quarterly school fees, admission charges, and Board examination fees for students from Class 1 through Class 12.
Higher & Professional Studies
Tuition fees for degree, diploma, engineering (B.Tech), medical (MBBS/BDS), law (LLB), and management courses based on merit and need.
Books, Uniforms & Kits
Prescribed school textbooks, notebooks, mandatory school uniforms, shoes, and basic learning materials.

Support for approved college hostel fees and meal plans where studying requires a student to live away from their hometown.

Voices of Impact
"I was going to leave school after Class 10 because my father could not pay the board exam fees. Aaghaz volunteers came to our home and paid the fees within a week. Today, I am studying in college."
"We did not know there was genuine help like this. The volunteers were very polite, respectful, and made us feel comfortable without questioning our dignity."
