How it works
Funding, opportunity and growth — the path we walk with every scholar, from admission to a successful career.
For students
Need-based awards for meritorious students across India entering professional courses — with mentoring, skilling and placement built in.
Need-based scholarship of up to ₹1,00,000 a year for Class XII achievers across India entering professional courses.
Beyond funding
More than money — mentoring, skilling, internships and placement that turn merit into a career.
MEF pairs each scholar with an experienced mentor for guidance on academics, careers and confidence - the first step of opportunity after funding.
MEF builds the employable skills a syllabus does not cover - communication, digital fluency and workplace readiness - turning academic merit into job-readiness.
MEF connects scholars with real internships at startups and companies, so they enter the job market having already done the work.
MEF connects job-ready scholars with internships and roles at startups and companies - the final step of the pipeline. We prepare scholars and open doors; we never guarantee a job.
