Micro scholarship launched to encourage continuous learning among school students

Winning scholarships has never been this easy and fun! Now, all you need to do is pick up your phone and take a 10-minute quiz and if you score above 80 per cent, you win up to ₹1000 every month and may even get a chance to go to Cambridge University, UK, and bag national awards and more.

Targeted at school students in the country, those who score less than 80 per cent need not be disheartened, they can take another attempt at the quiz. The scholarship is aimed at encouraging Indian school students to improve their learning continuously.
