Scholarships for education
Scholarships for Beneficiaries Children Education, education aims to develop student an ideal man. Collective efforts of guardians, pedagogues, and civil society are essential to forming students as perfect men. There is no alternative of encouragement to explore the merit of a student. In our community, many insolvent people are facing hurdles of poverty to continue their children’s education. A substantial part of insolvent family’s students do not have any accessibility to scholarships or any financial assistance from the government or any other sources. As a result, they are deprived of higher education. A competitive environment within the students of rural society is needed to increase the number of higher education and the rate of education. Afterward, they will be self-reliant through education, and the number of unemployed persons will be decreased. SANGRAM has been providing scholarships to the students of its beneficiaries since 2012 with the assistance of the Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF).

ENRICH Program
Scholarships for meritorious students from the government and other institutions are very limited in Bangladesh compared to the number of students. Many students from financially disadvantaged families need help to acquire scholarships or other forms of financial aid from the government or other sources. As a result, they are unable to pursue further schooling. It is necessary to create a competitive atmosphere among rural students to increase the number of students pursuing higher education and the education rate. They will become self-sufficient due to their education, and the number of unemployed people will diminish. SANGRAM has been awarding scholarships with the help of the Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF) to the students of its recipients since 2012.
Selection Methods
Children of the beneficiaries who achieved GPA 5 in SSC and HSC examinations and not received assistance from any other sources are identified for scholarships. Socioeconomic vulnerability is considered a selection criterion because everyone is not possible to entertain for a scholarship. Finally, selected candidates are asked to open a bank account against their name, and the amount of the money of scholarships is paid through account payee cheque. The continuation of providing support remains up to a second time based on their performance
