Sponsor-A-Student

For the past 10 years, over 250 impoverished students in Tamil Nadu have received assistance from MSCF’s Education Scholarship. That is over 250 students with financial needs who were able to succeed in their pursuit of higher education; and over 250 struggling families who were substantially benefited by YOUR generous donations of over $80,000! 

This year, we are introducing an invaluable opportunity to not just extend a financial helping hand, but to also connect with your student recipient through MSCF’s Sponsor-A-Student program. A contribution of about $350 towards the education scholarship creates a pathway for becoming the individual sponsor of a well-deserving student in our scholarship program. 

When you become a sponsor in the program, you will get to know your student’s aspirations and challenges, and you will see the student’s progress and achievements firsthand. As a sponsor, you will see the direct benefits of your donation and have the chance to offer encouragement, guidance, and support through mentorship.

Sponsor-A-Student is a rewarding experience of helping someone in critical need and making a positive and lasting impact on their life. MSCF Charity is proud to introduce Sponsor-A-Student to all of you, our generous donors, in our continued efforts to elevate disadvantaged students in Tamil Nadu. 

MSCF is indebted to all of you for your unwavering support for all of our charity efforts throughout the years. We request each of you to register to become a sponsor today and make big differences, one student at a time!
