Stay in School

School essentials, nutrition support and help claiming scholarships, so cost does not end a child's education.

Current status: Planned. First support planned before schools reopen in June 2027.

What it is

  • Uniforms, footwear, bags, notebooks and stationery before the June school reopening.
  • Nutrition support for students who need it, arranged with the school.
  • Help for every supported student to apply for the government scholarships and schemes they already qualify for, including pre-matric and post-matric scholarships.
  • Merit scholarships for high-scoring students from low-income families, funded by donors and paid to the school or college.
  • Bringing back students who have left school: talking with the family, helping them re-enrol, or finishing Class 10 or 12 through open schooling.

How it works

  • Partner schools help us agree fair selection criteria.
  • We keep every student's information private and secure.
  • Online, our guides explain major scholarships and schemes with document checklists.

Who it is for

  • Students in government schools, identified with headmasters and teachers
  • Their parents and guardians
