Azim Premji Foundation Fellowships
Scholarship
The Program provides opportunities to build understanding on how change in education can happen. Fellows will build this understanding through hands on teaching experience, engaging in education dialogues and by directly participating in a range of activities designed to bring change.
About the Fellowship Program
- Fellows will be posted in the rural districts of the six states and one Union Territory that we work from. They are expected to commit to a life which is seemingly rough but very rewarding. During the Program, they will gain important and exciting insights into the lives of the people of that terrain.
- Living and pursuing such a life is integral to the change. Fellows will be posted in the interior districts of Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Puducherry, Rajasthan, Telangana and Uttarakhand.
