GENESIS: EVERY DROP COUNTS!

"They alone live, who live for others; the rest are more dead than alive."

― Swami Vivekananda.

Most of us have the heart to engage in charity. Adequate personal wealth certainly is not a requirement for generosity.

We do not need a family foundation or give so much that we get fantastic tax exemptions to make a big difference.

Then why do we fail to convert our wish to 'engage in giving' into action? Most of us feel our efforts will be 'a small drop in the ocean'.

How wrong we are! Small efforts trigger a mass movement. Small actions collectively have a huge impact.

Let's make a positive difference in our lifetime by making giving back to society and helping others a priority for ourselves, our families, and our businesses.

Serving others is a guaranteed road to happiness. By serving others, let's find joy, happiness, and purpose. It can change our lives and the lives of others.

Let's remember 'every drop counts'!

What We Do

scholarships

"We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one's own feet."

― Swami Vivekananda.

We believe every deserving student should have access to Education, Skill Development, and Employment.

No student should have to abandon their education due to financial constraints.

Education is the seed we plant today to uplift communities and help break the cycle of poverty for future generations."

We are committed to creating educational opportunities for underprivileged students.

Together, we can transform lives and make a lasting impact on our society.

Fine Advice Foundation has established the ‘Gyan Alok Vritti’ scholarship to support meritorious students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

The scholarship provides financial aid and inspiration, empowering deserving students to pursue their education and realise their potential.

Join us in investing in a brighter, more inclusive future for India by making education accessible to all and unlocking the incredible potential within every young mind.

This is a Merit-cum-Means Scholarship for students who have passed the Class X exams and wish to pursue further studies, specifically in Classes XI and XII.

Eligibility Criteria

1. Academic Performance

Applicants must have scored at least 70% in their Class X examinations. This threshold reflects their commitment and capability, qualities we seek to foster through our support.

2. Family Income

The parents' combined annual income should not exceed Rs. 4,00,000/-, ensuring the scholarship reaches students who genuinely need financial support.

3. Residency Requirement

Applicants must be citizens and residents of India.

Additional Considerations

- Living Conditions Assessment

We also consider the applicant’s living conditions to understand their socio-economic background better.

- Geographical Coverage

Priority is given to students attending government or aided schools, particularly in rural areas, to bridge the gap in educational opportunities and promote equal access.

Selection is based on fulfilling eligibility criteria and assessing the applicants' socio-economic background, as determined by Fine Advice Foundation.

The Trustees’ decision regarding the selection of candidates is final and binding.

Scholarship Terms and Monitoring

1. Quantum, Duration and Payment Schedule

The scholarship provides monthly financial support directly credited to the student’s bank account within the first seven days of each month, starting from the grant activation date.

The scholarship payments will be for 24 months at most, with the final instalment paid before the commencement of Class XII board exams.

The scholarship amount will not exceed Rs. 4,000/- per grantee per month and shall not exceed Rs. 96,000/- per grantee during the tenure of the grant.

2. Regular Monitoring and Reporting

Scholarship recipients must submit their academic progress reports and exam results periodically throughout the scholarship term, including all class and school exam reports.

This ensures the students’ consistency and dedication to academic performance.
