Access to quality higher education should never depend on a child’s financial background. Yet for thousands of bright young minds from India’s rural heartlands, the dream of stepping into a university classroom remains distant, often impossible, due to circumstances beyond their control. At the Each One Educate One Foundation, we believe dreams should not be limited by geography, economic hardship, or generational disadvantage.
The Each One Higher Educate One Programme was conceived with one intention: to ensure that every deserving student from our rural schools completes their academic journey with dignity, confidence, and purpose. The programme is not just a higher education sponsorship; it is a long-term promise to walk with the child until they emerge as responsible, value-driven young citizens.
A Seamless Pathway to Higher Education
Sri Sathya Sai University for Human Excellence (SSSUHE), established in 2019–20, extends the Gurukulam model of education all the way to undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral levels. For many students, most of whom are first-generation learners, this is their very first experience stepping into a formal university environment without the fear of financial burden or societal barriers.
Through the higher education scholarship offered under the Each One Higher Educate One Programme, the university ensures complete support for every enrolled student, covering academics, character development, skill-building, and campus life. For students who come from humble backgrounds, this uninterrupted educational pathway becomes a foundation on which dreams are built.
This higher education scholarship not only removes the economic hurdles that often prevent rural youth from pursuing degrees but also empowers them with the confidence and clarity needed to grow into responsible, service-oriented citizens. With education, mentorship, and values at its core, SSSUHE creates an environment where students thrive, not just academically, but as compassionate leaders committed to uplifting society.
Why Scholarships Alone Aren’t Enough
Traditional financial support, whether a UG scholarship or a PG scholarship, addresses the cost of education but rarely supports the student as a whole person. The Foundation understands that students from rural and underprivileged backgrounds often face:
- Lack of financial security
- Emotional vulnerability
- Limited parental support for academics
- Scarce exposure to industry, internships, or mentorship
- Social and cultural barriers
This is why our model extends beyond a typical scholarship for rural students. It becomes a safety net, a springboard, and a lifelong mentor.
Every student receives not only material support but also guidance, counselling, leadership training, and community-building experiences that prepare them for personal and professional success.
How We Support Undergraduate Students
Undergraduate learners receive everything they need to learn, thrive, and grow. Their UG scholarship covers academic needs, personal care, skill-based training, spiritual development sessions, and personality-building modules. This scholarship ensures that rural youth can focus entirely on becoming compassionate, skilled, and service-driven graduates.
How We Support Postgraduate Students
Postgraduate learners enter advanced programmes that prepare them for leadership roles in academia, social development, healthcare, sciences, arts, and administration. Their PG scholarship includes full funding plus a stipend during their internship year. This scholarship enables them not only to pursue higher studies but also to support their families when needed.
Self-Development and Internships: The Heart of the Programme
Two pillars define the university’s unique educational approach:
A. Self-Development Programme
B. Internship Programme
Stories of Courage, Faith, and Possibility
Driven to Build a Future of Change
Growing up in hardship in Khanapur, Belagavi, I found my life transformed when I joined this institution in the 8th grade, eventually becoming the first graduate in my family despite personal loss; today, as a PG Diploma student in NGO Management, I am committed to serving society and creating meaningful social impact.
From Rangapur village to receiving a Gold Medal from the Hon’ble President of India, my journey, powered by my father’s sacrifices, holistic education at SSSUHE, and the financial support of the internship stipend, has shaped my dream to become a Mathematics professor who inspires rural girls to excel in STEM.
Why This Support System Matters
For students like Anand and Sreenitha, education is not merely a pathway to employment; it is a doorway out of generational poverty, a foundation for dignity, and a chance to rewrite their family’s future. With the right support, rural students who once doubted their own potential now stand as confident graduates, postgraduates, and leaders-in-training.
This is why programmes like the Each One Higher Educate One exist, to ensure that every deserving child receives the benefit of a scholarship and that this scholarship for rural students leads not just to degrees but to a life rooted in service, strength, and self-belief.
Lighting the Path Forward
With an investment of ₹250,000 per student per year, our Edu-Care model ensures complete care – physical, emotional, and academic. The cost remains the same for undergraduate and postgraduate courses, with an additional ₹1 lakh stipend for PG learners.
If you believe in the power of education to shape a better world, we invite you to join this mission.
Your higher education sponsorship can help a deserving rural student continue their UG or PG studies with dignity. Your contribution ensures that financial hardship never comes in the way of talent and determination.
Support a student. Transform a life. Strengthen the nation.
