Enabling quality education for all

Rashmi Aakode's anecdote M.A. Applied Clinical Psychology

I belong to schedule cast community. My father left my mother and me in my childhood and since then my mother is the sole breadwinner of the family, with her limited salary she supported me in my further studies and this scholarship support helped me to reduce financial burden of my mother. It was quite difficult and challenging to complete my studies without this financial support.

Liandimvung's anecdote M.A. Applied Psychology

I am sincerely grateful for receiving this mental health education scholarship, due to which I can focus on my studies. Initially, I had dropped the idea of applying to this college as I knew I would not be able to meet the expenses with my family income. The scholarship helped me to pay for my house rent, electricity bill, travelling expense for fieldwork and food. Thanks to Metra Trust for giving me this aid.

Metra Trust scholarship is a boon for me as a student. I come from a family that is not financially strong and providing me with a good education was the only goal of my parents; for which they sacrificed their time and money. I used to provide tuition to my locality children to earn money and get into a good college. The scholarship helped me manage my living expenses. I am also using this amount to get books (related to psychology, daily living, and entrance books) and register for certain courses related to psychological therapies to further enhance my skills as a counselor. This scholarship is much needed by students like me who aren’t financially well, struggle to get a good education, and are always stuck in thinking that whether they ever be able to enroll in certain courses that require a huge amount (as psychology workshops, certification and diploma courses have high fees).  The scholarship acts as a bridge between me and my goals of life for which I will forever be grateful.
