Bridge Scholarships

The Bridge Scholarship program nurtures future leaders who exemplify values such as compassion, mindfulness, and selflessness. It accomplishes this by offering financial support to learners from marginalized communities, enabling them to pursue graduate studies at Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) in India. This comprehensive support includes a customized leadership development program, along with long-term mentoring and networking opportunities.

​

Bridge allows alumni, CSRs, non-profits, and individuals to initiate scholarships for students across courses at Universities. The funders have the liberty to formulate the eligibility criteria, time frame, and other modalities of the scholarship, in consultation with the University administration. Bridge facilitates the institutionalization of the scholarship, supports information dissemination, scholar selection and extends mentoring and guidance to selected awardees.

Inayat Singh Kakar


Funder, Bridge-Rupinder Bachan Brar Memorial Scholarship

Coming  from  an  elite  educational  institute  in  my  graduation,  TISS  with  it's melting  pot  of  students  was  an  eye-opener  for  me  in  terms  of  the  relative privilege I come from. I've always wanted to give back to the institution and the student body that gave me so much in terms of perspectives and learnings, both inside and outside the classroom. Being able to support other students in accessing the rich and diverse educational experience of TISS seemed like one of the best ways  to  give back. Bridge is a trusted  and  well-managed  platform run by dynamic and committed professionals and was thus the obvious choice to  collaborate  with.  Cheers  to  the  team  and  hope  other  alumni  join  in  to support the evolving vision of Bridge!
