Bachelor’s in Pharmacology

A high achiever, Samikshya was accepted into medical school, but did not enroll because her parental family of four live on an income of $50 a month. She then applied for a Tiyara scholarship to pursue pharmacology. She says, “I am motivated not only for my own personal growth and to uplift my parents, but also to serve my community as a pharmacist.” 

Her former teacher commends her for her “dedication, academic commitment, and strong sense of responsibility”, adding “I believe she will contribute meaningfully to the healthcare sector and build a stable professional career.” 

Master’s in Business Science

Before he finished high school, Suresh says his father told him he needed to quit school and start working to support the family due to their dire financial circumstances. That’s when Suresh started tutoring younger students, but he also went to school part time. He not only graduated high school, but he also put himself through his undergrad education in business sciences.  

Suresh says he wants to be qualified to teach accounting, “to combine my love of numbers with my passion for helping others learn, and to prepare them for the real world of finance.” Suresh has certainly gained practical experience. He currently supports his aging parents in the village and his wife and himself in college on less than $150 a month.
