JK Lakshmipat University launches Scholarship combat Girl Student Dropout Rate

To address this issue, JKLU's strategic campaign blends powerful storytelling, mentorship programs, and tangible support measures to foster a more inclusive educational landscape. Scheduled to be live from March 8 to 31, 2024, the campaign offers a transformative opportunity for aspiring girl students.

JK Lakshmipat University (JKLU) has launched an exclusive campaign to address the alarming rate at which female students drop out of schools and colleges across India. Titled #MentorinHerDreams and #BringHerBackToSchool, the campaign aims to inspire, empower, and mentor girls to persist in completing their higher education journeys at the JK Lakshmipat University in Jaipur.

Large proportion of girls drop out every year

According to Unicef data, in India, while girl enrollment is high at 96% up to class 8 level, it drops steeply to only 50% for classes 11 and 12 (higher secondary). This highlights the major issue of a large proportion of girls dropping out after completing elementary school, depriving them of opportunities to pursue their dreams of becoming a doctor, actor, designer, entrepreneur and more, and achieve their full potential.

15% scholarship on top of existing scholarship

To address this issue, JKLU's strategic campaign blends powerful storytelling, mentorship programs, and tangible support measures to foster a more inclusive educational landscape. Scheduled to be live from March 8 to 31, 2024, the campaign offers a transformative opportunity for aspiring girl students. Eligible women candidates applying to the JKLU academic programme during this entire month will receive an additional 15% scholarship on top of existing scholarship offerings. This financial assistance aims to ease the burden on families and ensure that economic constraints do not hinder a girl's educational aspirations.
