When Monisha was studying, she had to sell her Mom's earrings to pay exam fees. But today, she is an IT professional. Like Monisha, the 'I am the Change' scholarship has transformed many students' lives.

Sivayogam, Chennai, 2017 Team Everest Scholar
Without Team Everest scholarship, my family would have got into a huge debt to make me finish college. This scholarship saved me and my family from all such stress and burden. Now, I am a graduate and an employee in a top MNC.

My mom and Dad worked as a coolie and helped me complete school. Joining me in college was very difficult for them. Luckily, I got Team Everest scholarship and completed my graduation. Now, I am working in TCS and I owe this personal success of mine to Team Everest.
