Make a Difference with Starfish Scholarships India
Starfish Scholarships prides itself on maintaining very low operating expenses. This allows us to put 100% of all donations directly towards our scholarship fund. Our scholarships are disbursed in four annual payments of $250 CAD, and are used for tuition fees, educational supplies and other related academic expenses. Our scholars are required to supply us with proof of enrollment on an annual basis, as well as their academic progress reports. Our volunteers in India maintain a rapport with the students to ensure they are progressing successfully.
At Starfish Scholarships, every dollar counts. The value of one Canadian dollar can play a significant role in helping a deserving student complete their education. With your help, we can continue to empower students to break through the cycle of poverty.
Starfish Scholarships India is currently registered as a non-profit organization in Ontario. We are unable to provide receipts for tax purposes until we register with the Canada Revenue Agency as a charity.
Donate
With your help, Starfish Scholarships India can provide a student with an amazing opportunity to pursue post-secondary education. With the gift of higher education, students can realize their dreams and begin to dismantle the chains of poverty that often extend across generations.
Fundraise
Starfish Scholarships does the majority of its fundraising by working with high-school students in developing small-scale, curriculum-oriented projects. Our fundraising projects give students a chance to be innovative, to acquire leadership skills, and to learn about poverty.
Volunteer
Starfish is always looking for young, driven volunteers to help run the organization. Although we strive to involve Duke of Edinburgh Award participants and Award Holders in our operations, we welcome participants from all backgrounds and skill sets.
