ASWT EDUCATION RELIEF & SCHOLARSHIP FUND

INTRODUCTION
During our delegation meeting with Muslim Aid London in 2005, Education Status Muslims of South Gujarat was discussed. It was found that due to financial reasons, students were deprived from Higher Education. The meeting concluded with all the Members of Muslim Aid UK, assuring us that if we launch a higher education Scholarship Programme, we shall be Muslim Aid UK regularly support for scholarship project, which we gladly accepted.

NEED OF HIGHER EDUCATION
The western-orientated and dominated society into which we live, demand that we inculcate in our children a type of knowledge with an Islamic ethos to ensure that we are not swept with the tide. We must ensure that our children acquire fundamental knowledge, which they require in order to fulfill their natural functions as human beings. Similarly, professional knowledge is a pre-requisite in order to earn a living. Sadly, many of our children do not have this opportunity due to lack of funds. With this in mind, a Fund was launched which is called, “ASWT Education Relief and Scholarship Fund”.

DEMAND FOR CAREER BASED EDUCATION
Surveys prove that we have most of students opting for Arts and Commerce Faculty instead of Science Faculty, which is more Career-based and lucrative, in today’s world.  The demand for Medical, Dental, Bio-Chem, Engineering and Information Technology Faculties are increasing. We encourage bright and eligible students for these faculties.

EMPHASIS ON SCIENCE FACULTY
By educating the children in Arts and Commerce Faculty, what we create is just an army of unemployed youths, in the society. Hence, we, at Alipore Social Welfare Trust had decided to give scholarships to those needy students who deserves and are eligible to be Doctors or for Para-Medical Studies and for that we have started talent search in and around Alipore.

CATCH THEM YOUNG AND WATCH THEM GROW (CTYWTG)
Let us make generationext a responsible, self-reliant and self-sufficient. We want our generationext to become a professional. Our vision is to educate atleast one child in each village for job-oriented and career- based Higher Education, which will eventually help his family and in future shall give back to the community. Our programme, 'Catch Them Young and Watch Them Grow' (CTYWTG), which was started 2006-07 and was aimed at students from Standard VIII focuses on encouraging students to dream big and aim high. To hunt these talented poor but eligible students, a Committee consisting of Educationalist was formed. These Professionals are in continuous contacts with the teachers in the villages and get information regarding their studies. We want to identify poor students from our area who are eligible for IAS, IPS, IIM etc. Degree courses too.

FUNDS USED
Scholarships given are from
a)       Lillah Fund to Sayyad & Karze-Hasanah Students,
b)       Zakaat Sadaqah for Poor but Eligible Students.
c)       Interest Fund for Poor Non-Muslim but Eligible Students.

Hence, we just are not giving Zakaats but also investing for the future of these poor families so that they may give back to the community. We believe that - Donation spent on Education for the poor and needy is a long term investment.

Making Lives
By providing proper higher education to poor and needy eligible students who are unable to afford Higher Education Cost which will be instrumental in making themselves and their family members lives self-sufficient & self-reliant and in future may give back to the community. This project is under “The Rainbow Family – Scholarship Programme”, a Muslim Aid UK and Alipore Social Welfare Trust Joint Venture Project.

Money spent on education is a long term investment. Today’s child will be a future (tomorrow’s) citizen. Let us make these children a responsible, self-reliant, self-sufficient and eligible and well-respected-by-all citizen.

To make them a proper and responsible person, higher education is a must. Today’s beneficiary of alms and donation can become a generous Donor tomorrow. Hence money spent in their education will be mostly and wisely used and highly benefited to all.
