About Sashakt Scholarship by Dr Reddy’s Foundation

Sashakt Scholarship is a one-of-its-kind initiative to encourage young women across India to prepare for and pursue a career in science. It provides a level playing ground to girl students, especially from rural India and low socio-economic backgrounds, to get access to quality education in some of India’s best science institutions by offering financial support and mentorship throughout their undergraduate studies.

  • The scholarship covers three years of studies toward earning a B.Sc./B.Tech/MBBS degree.
  • Limited scholarships are available, for students securing admission to any of the listed colleges.
  • With a lead woman scientist as a mentor, the scholars are guided through the crucial stages of their education, apart from having a role model for a career in science.
  • The scholarship award is Rs 2,40,000 (Rs 80,000/year) for three years of study, which covers the college tuition fees, study expenses, and basic living costs.

Objective

  • Encourage and support young, academically bright girls to pursue science studies.
  • Address the attrition of girl students in science during the transition from school to college.
  • Financially empower rural and economically challenged girls to access the best science education in India.
