Scholarship
Around one in four children who enroll in school in Bangladesh end up dropping out before achieving literacy. [5] These children stop attending school to work and support their families. The AlterYouth Scholarship provides a Taka 800 per month scholarship to the student's mother, contingent on the student maintaining a 65% mark and attendance.
AlterYouth keeps a Taka 150 scholarship management fee each month, bringing the total scholarship amount to Taka 950 per month. When a scholarship begins, the mother receives an active mobile phone with a bKash account, where the money is transferred monthly. The benefactor receives copies of the bKash statements each month and the student's school report cards every four months. The scholarship ends after the student completes fifth grade and receives their primary school certificate; a copy is also mailed to the benefactor.
