The selection process adapted shall be based on humanitarian / compassionate grounds (combining the economical status and merit rather than Merit ONLY) to encourage children facing harsh times at this young age of their lives and who may possibly discontinue their studies in worst scenario. Applicants from broken homes, i.e., single parents shall also be considered. Both the applicant and the parent of the applicant should be genuinely interested in education. Selection is solely at Trust’s discretion.

Trust will approach various Government and aided colleges and request them to provide details of the students who are economically poor,meeting the Trust’s criteria.
Asraya team then will get in touch with the student / parents to assess the ground reality. On completion of the assessment a final decision shall be taken. Selection shall be solely at the Trust’s discretion. We would like to make mention that only students from Government Colleges and Aided Colleges shall only be considered.
The Trust may not be able to address all the students however, we will keep the list provided in our data bank and will try to extend the support based on the resources case by case.

Asraya would like to support all the needy students irrespective of the place they originate from as we would like to help all those who are in need. However as we are in the infant stages with limited resources at the moment, we are concentrating in the areas which are accessible so that authentic verification can be done.

In principal “YES”. However, we would like to clarify that at this stage we are concentrating on college education from Intermediate (+1 and +2) to Degree (in any stream).

In principal “NO”. We need to look into the realistic aspect of the finances. As Trust is in infant stage, we will not be able to support the professional courses. However, we will try our best try and help the student as much as possible who approach us.

We intend to continue our support till the student completes his/her present stream of education However this is solely at Trust’s discretion.

We currently have “Support to Settle” Program in which a donor can support a student continuously till the student completes his studies. Donor shall have a commitment of minimum 3 years.

No - We understand that the support from the Donor entirely depends on the financial status. In an extreme case where Donor would like to revert his decision, we respect his decision. However, we request the Donor to give us ample notice so that we can find alternative resources for the student affected.

No - We support many students and the beneficiary is one among them. All the beneficiaries are equal as far as Asraya is concerned and we would like to support all of them. We would like to create a secured atmosphere to all the beneficiaries rather creating a secured feeling to one.

As mentioned above we would like to avoid any situation to the Donor where in if he fails to assist the student. However at the end of the education the student will be informed the details of the Donor. By doing so we would like to create the feel that there are people who do care for the society.

Currently the focus is only on educational programs. All medical programs are on hold and shall be considered at a later stage.

As a general estimation, the expenditure of a student per year will be approximately Rs. 5000/.

However this is subject to variation based on the college, course and the study stream. This covers the entire cost like College fees, Text Books, Note Books, examination fees Uniform (as applicable) etc.

The information is given only of generic nature.
