Every year many meritorious students hailing from poor families are forced to discontinue their higher education due to lack of funds. Keeping alive their motto of ‘investing in the smallest dreams’, Magma offers financial assistance in form of scholarships to such students every year under their scheme “M-Scholar”. Students will be selected on the basis of their academic performance and socio-economic background of their families who are unable to support their children to continue studies.

Speaking to the media, Kaushik Sinha, Vice President, CSR, Corporate Communications & Admin, Magma Fincorp Ltd elaborated on the initiative and the application procedure for this year. “Applications are invited from eligible students from across the country. Till now we offered 50 scholarships every year. However, considering the need to reach out to more such meritorious students who are forced to discontinue their students due financial constraints this year we will offer 100 scholarships for their under-graduate studies. The three year scholarship will be renewable every year on confirmation of grades in annual exams”, said Sinha.
