MY SCHOLAR: A HOLISTIC CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
FULLY FUNDED BY HCLITES.

Launched in late 2016, My Scholar is a long-term scholarship programme to support the education
of talented and hardworking children from low-income families. Eligible beneficiaries include
children from HCL Foundation’s project areas, or from HCL support staf, including housekeeping,
transport, security and other such allied support services. Through mentoring and financial
support, the annual scholarship programme facilitates both higher secondary as well as higher
education for 100 deserving students. The goal is to support them to stay in school, continue their
education and find rewarding employment. The Rupee 1 contribution made by employees under
Power of One is mapped to this initiative and is used to award scholarships and provide quality
support to these deserving Scholars.

TESTIMONIALS FROM SCHOLARS

AMAN YADAV
“I am Aman Yadav. I am very happy to receive this scholarship.
My father is an employee of HCL and he works very hard to support our entire
family financially. But sometimes it becomes very difcult for him to pay all my fees
as he is already burdened with the other expenses of the family. The scholarship will
be a big help for me and my family as it will help me support my education.
I thank the entire team of HCL for contributing towards the scholarship and making
a diference in my life.”

ANSHU SAANI
“My name is Anshu and I am studying in class 12th. My favourite subject is accounts
and when I grow up I want to become a banker. I am very excited to receive this
scholarship. It will help me in achieving my dreams. Being a part of this cohort of
talented scholars has been a wonderful experience for me. Thank you HCL for this
opportunity.”

JYOTI RANI
“I am Jyoti and I am studying in B.Sc. final year. I want to grow up and become a
designer. The scholarship will enable me to get into a good coaching institute where
I can learn the skills required to be a designer.
Thank you HCL for giving me this scholarship.
I believe education can change lives and I try my best to contribute towards that
cause. In my spare time, I teach young children in my neighbourhood. Some of
these children are very interested in studying but do not have the means and
encouragement to continue their studies. When I grow up, I want to do something
for these children who are deprived of the access to education.”
