Ensuring every child has equal access to education
At Youth Dreamers Foundation, we ensure that finances never limit a student’s ability to dream, learn, and achieve. By bridging the gap between underserved youth in rural India and the scholarships and skills they need, we create pathways to education and opportunity. Guided by our motto “Removing Barriers, Inspiring Aspiration,” we empower students to aspire, work hard, and inspire others, building brighter futures for themselves, their communities, and the nation.

More than 44 million students in India are too poor to afford higher education.
Imagine if you were one of those deserving students who have dreams and dedication but have to drop out because of a lack of funds. Data shows that India has a 47.4% dropout rate from grades 1 to 10 and a 78% dropout rate from high school to college. That’s millions of unrealized dreams.
Out of 100 disadvantaged students, only 7 manage to pursue higher education
And even fewer students manage to complete their education and find employment. This means almost 95% of students coming from disadvantaged backgrounds fail to break the circle of poverty. Higher education and subsequent employment can enable upward social mobility for these students.
Since 2015, we have helped more than 33,000+ deserving students access scholarships worth Rs 200 million.
Our objective is to demonstrate that scholarships if designed and executed well can improve GER* of marginalised students in higher education.
They did it, with just a little help
Children smiling and flying high can be the most beautiful tomorrow we can imagine.
