Help Some Brilliant Students to Continue Education

Goal

Like previous years, objective of this initiative is to raise a fund for the financially challenged students who have achieved excellent academic results this year (2009) S.S.C. examination, with all their financial and social adversaries. The Daily Prothom Alo has published the successful stories of the some of these brilliant students on June 7, 2009(click here). We believe that with a little support from all of us, like all our previous year students they can also flourish their talents and develop their full potential.

Previous Initiatives

Our such initiative started two years back. In 2007, with the generous financial support from a lot of kind hearted people staying in different parts of the world, we were able to help 43 students from 12 different districts to continue their college education. You will be glad to know that even with our small amount of financial support, these students have made wonderful academic progress over the last two years and could appear for the HSC exam this year (2009). In our similar initiative in the year 2008, we had been support 33 students from 11 different districts. Here is the summary:

Total Number of Supported Students	43	33
Total Number of Female Students	15	7
Students from Districts	12	11
Total Number of Contributors	83	35
Contributors' Residence Country	Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Korea, Norway, Singapore, USA

How It Works

Primarily each student from the below-mentioned list will be given an amount of Tk 5,000 for their initial expenses to start college education. Then each month, they will receive Tk 1,000 to cover their expenses at college. We have representatives to deliver the money to each student.

Here is the detailed expense estimation for each student (2 years up to H.S.C. Exam.):

Approximated Expenses Areas	Approx .Amount (Tk.)
College Admission and Initial Expenses (i.e. buying books etc.) ..............................	5,000
Monthly Expenses (Approximated as Tk. 1000 per month for 24 months) ................	24,000
Admission to HSC Second Year ...........................................................................	2,000
HSC Exam Registration (Form Fill up) prior to HSC ...............................................	2,000
Others (i.e., postal costs) .........................................................................	1,000
Total (One student for 2 Years upto HSC Examination) ...............................	34,000

Approx. US $495

Annur Rahman, Partha Pratim Saha and Md. Sakib Sorower, all from Bangladesh, will be distributing money to students' local addresses or to their bank accounts in a regular interval (every 3 months).

How Can You Contribute

Interested person can donate any amount and the money will be saved in a fund from which students will receive their financial support regularly.

You can also sponsor any student and contribute the necessary amount ($495) at one time or any flexible installments for the next one or two years. For example, you can send an initial amount of $100 (to cover the initial expenses of the student as listed above), and then send the rest amount ($400) as $100 for four times or $50 for eight times or $25 for 16 times, on a regular basis upto the student's HSC Exam.

Student Information

Hridoya Bangladesh has decided to support only those insolvent talented students whose achievements have not been either publicized by media or still have not received support from anyone else. In 2007, our representatives have identified a list of students from 12 districts. They personally contacted these students and their families. This year we intend to continue the same initiative to help some students to flourish their careers.

Following is the list of students whom we have decided to provide financial support for the next two years. We need your financial contribution to support these students for the next two years. A person can sponsor any listed student or make a contribution of any amount she/he is willing to make. If we are unsuccessful in finding sponsors for all the students, in that case some of them will be provided with full support for two years through our common fund, and others will get a one time support to cover their initial admission fees at the college.

Summary of all students' academics and family profiles is available here.
