With 76.04% literacy rate and an increasing number of dropouts failing to enrol or complete any form of higher education, the situation is worrying. Financial constraints, lack of know-how about education funding schemes are some of the some of the key contributors to this effect. Buddy4Study India Foundation, since 2017, is endeavouring to bridge the gap between scholarship providers and scholarship seekers. As India’s largest scholarship listing portal, we help more than 1 million students by connecting the right scholarships with the right students.

From the corporate’s purview, the most important checkpoints in the process of selection of implementation partner are impact created, no. of beneficiaries, precisely track, measure, and report performance metrics, Buddy4Study India Foundation specializes in each of those. Each program that we offer, we have paid special attention to each of the factors to ensure higher and sustainable impact from our programs. Some of the key features which we would like to highlight are:

• Buddy4Study India Foundation focusses on one of the most important SDG i.e. education which either directly or indirectly positively impacts 8 other SDGs.
• From 2017, Buddy4Study India Foundation had focussed on scholarship only and inherited the title of India’s Largest Scholarship Network by 2017. Since then while maintaining the expertise on scholarships, we have also focussed on overall student empowerment with special attention to career counselling, mentoring with employee engagement and skilling.
• Buddy4Study India Foundation, since its inception has been a technology driven organization and hence in any program that we design & implement, technology plays a very important role. Due to which tracking and monitoring for each of our program is very seamless and easily done via technology solution.
• We focus on completing the cycle, be it a complete program where the design tends to replenish the supply by itself or a beneficiary who intends to give back to the society. This optimized framework makes each of our programs highly sustainable in nature.
