In today’s world, education has become one of the most essential and expensive assets. Most high school pass outs look for financial assistance to pursue the career of their dreams that requires several years of education. In such a scenario, scholarships come up as the most desired form of financial aid.  Every year CFCA provides scholarships on merit basis to deserving students.  Scholarships helps in empowering ones' academic and career goals by removing the financial barrier. Once you receive scholarship it takes away all your financial concerns. Thus, it gives you more time to study, gain knowledge and secure better grades.

We initiated scholarship for those sponsored students who were pursuing technical higher education. Majority of the families were struck with economic activities and they could not earn any income so they couldn't pay the education expenses of their children. We intervened to support those students who were in dire need of support to pay their education expenses. Since the availability of the scholarship fund was meager we could help only 76 students this year who were vastly impacted. We could transfer the amount to their individual bank accounts and could save them from drop-outs to help dream for a better future.

Each year we award scholarship aspiring students who pursue their education in engineering, nursing, teaching, and mechanic field of proficiency. Service scholarship student are the beacon of the unbound spirit in the communities they serve. They organize voluntary community services in remote villages creating awareness in the community regarding the importance of education, health, career opportunities, savings, income generation schemes, social justice, save environment, and parent building aspects.

The type of community services include:-

	Health awareness
	Higher education focus
	Upkeep files/ records
	Guiding the younger students in quality letter writing
	Tutor weak students with study skill techniques
	Encourage mother group members towards small business/ income genera􀆟on ac􀆟vi􀆟es
	Contagious Disease preparedness & prevention
	Child letter translations
	Family visits and data collection
	Motivational sharing
	Importance of Savings & Credit loans
	Balanced diet to prevent malnutrition
	Guidance to drop outs to take up vocational trainings
	Unbound Program compliances, vision, & mission, who is our sponsors etc
	Social justice etc.

Service Scholarship students also help junior students in their academics and teach them to write good and personalized letter to their sponsors. They mobilize participation in community cleaning effort and tree plantation about preserving environment. They educate the community about health hazard due to smoking, drinking, and the effect of pollution on ecology etc. So in many ways the service scholarship students carry out community services to motivate and support the families to break the shackles of poverty and to combat other existing life challenges.

It is heartening to see these students in gratitude supported their communities with Covid Response Activities.
