No Child Left Behind Education Scholarship Programme
Cute Stars Foundation promotes awareness of scholarship opportunities and provides guidance to help eligible students from disadvantaged backgrounds access educational support.
About the Programme
The No Child Left Behind Education Scholarship Programme is a core initiative of Cute Stars Foundation. We work to ensure that financial hardship does not prevent a child from receiving quality education. Our role is to raise awareness of available scholarships, guide families through eligibility requirements, and help connect students with the appropriate government and private scholarship schemes.
We do not directly disburse scholarship funds. Our work is to inform, guide and support families in navigating the application processes for scholarships offered by government bodies, educational institutions and recognised charitable organisations.
Who We Help
Students from economically weaker sections (EWS) and below poverty line (BPL) families
Children from minority communities eligible for government minority scholarship schemes
Students with disabilities seeking educational support and scholarship guidance
Girls from disadvantaged backgrounds eligible for girl-child education schemes
Students in Classes 1 to 12 and those pursuing higher education or vocational training
Families who lack awareness of available schemes or need guidance on documentation
