Scholarship[edit]
Around one in every four children that enroll in school in Bangladesh end up dropping out before achieving literacy.[5] These children stop attending school in order to work and support their families. The AlterYouth Scholarship is a TK 800 per month scholarship that is received by the student’s mother, contingent of the student maintaining 65% marks and attendance in class.
AlterYouth keeps a TK 150 scholarship management fee every month bringing the total scholarship amount to TK 950 per month. When a scholarship starts, the mother is provided an active mobile phone with a bKash account, where the money is transferred every month. The benefactor receives a copy of the bKash statements every month and receives the student’s school report cards every four months. The scholarship ends after the student finishes 5th grade and receives his/her primary school certificate and a copy is also mailed to the benefactor.
