The objective of the SHDF Scholarship
The main mission and vision of the SHDF Scholarship is to help needy and financially unstable students by offering them some financial assistance so they will be able to pay their school and college fees. As we know the fees of professional courses are quite expensive and not every student is that much capable of covering these educational expenses. Due to this many students dropped out of college. To overcome this problem the SHDF started this scholarship which mainly focuses on the students who belong to Punjab, Delhi and Some areas of NCR.
