Bengaluru-based Danish Education Trust (R) awarded scholarships to 503 students pursuing professional education across Karnataka with a total scholarship amount of Rs.1,20,85,000/- for the academic year 2022-23.

The scholarship recipients are pursuing various professional courses, including Engineering, MBBS, Law, Journalism, Pharmacy, BUMS, BAMS, BHMS, Veterinary Science, Agriculture, and B.Ed, and are from economically underprivileged backgrounds.
Danish Educational Trust (R) was established in March 2006 by a group of concerned citizens led by philanthropist Mrs. Husna Sheriff, with the belief that education is the seed for development and progress. Since its inception, the Trust has continued its scholarship scheme for poor and needy students pursuing higher education, including not only Engineering & Medicine but also Law, Journalism, Pharmacy, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Veterinary Sciences, Agriculture Sciences, Education (B.Ed), and Civil Services.
Over the years, the Danish Educational Trust (R) has sponsored the education of more than 3500 students, and this year’s scholarship program is another step in empowering young minds to achieve their educational dreams.
Speaking about the scholarship program, Mrs. Husna Sheriff, the founder of the Danish Educational Trust (R), said, “We believe in empowering students with the much-needed support for higher education. It is heartening to see our scholarship recipients contribute back to society by giving scholarships to more students, participating in social impact programs, volunteering for a cause, and in many other ways. Our aim is to support more students and increase the total scholarship amount to Rs.1.5 crore to help 650+ students for the academic year 2023-24.”
The scholarship program has positively impacted the lives of many students and helped them achieve their educational goals. Danish Scholars are spread across the world and are contributing to society through their professions, making the world a better place.
Danish Educational Trust (R) encourages underprivileged students to apply for the scholarship program and continue their education without financial burden. The Trust’s vision is to empower students to achieve their dreams and contribute positively to society.
