The event will be attended by the scholarship recipients, their parents, and the donors and benefactors of the CASK Centenary Trust, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose.
The CASK Centenary Trust’s broader mission encompasses various initiatives in education, healthcare, shelter support, counseling, and environmental preservation. Since its inception in 2014, the Trust has been dedicated to reaching out with empathy to those in distress and on the margins of society. With a vision to be a beacon of hope and a catalyst for positive change, the Trust endeavors to strengthen communities and improve the lives of individuals it serves.
The scholarship program is designed to motivate beneficiaries to excel in their academic endeavors, enabling them to secure a quality education and become self-reliant contributors to their families, communities, and the nation.
This year’s cohort of 307 beneficiaries includes 162 female students, with nearly 40% hailing from rural areas.
