Help 12th Grade Students Stay in College — Raise ₹2,60,000 for Sunbeam

For years, a group of students at Sunbeam could count on steady educational support. That changed this year.

A long-term donor who contributed annually toward students’ education is no longer able to continue funding. The students they supported are now in 12th standard — second year of Junior College. They’ve come this far. Now there’s a financial gap that could interrupt everything.

To ensure they complete the year without disruption, we need to raise ₹2,60,000.

Here’s exactly how that amount will be used.

1. Performance Grants — ₹1,65,000

33 students who scored distinction in 11th Standard
₹5,000 per student

These are students who worked hard, delivered strong academic results, and are preparing for their 12th board exams. The grant supports essential college-related expenses.

2. Special Grants for Orphan Students — ₹75,000

15 students (Worli + Bandra centres)
₹5,000 per student

These students have lost parental support. This assistance helps ensure financial hardship does not force them to discontinue education.

3. Special Grants for Students with Handicapped or Critically Ill Parents — ₹20,000

4 students (Worli + Bandra centres)
₹5,000 per student

For families already under medical and income strain, this support is crucial.

These students are not starting out. They are already on the path. A funding shortfall at this stage could mean part-time work replacing study hours, or worse, dropping out entirely.

Sunbeam is a small grassroots organisation with limited donors. When a long-term contributor steps away, the impact is immediate.

This campaign is about continuity. About making sure students who have proven themselves are not forced to pause because of finances.
