We are very excited to introduce the 14th cohort (or group) of our Learn to Earn scholarship students, studying at ILSC-New Delhi. As you may know, the Learn to Earn program provides English training and education designed to support disadvantaged women in India. The program, which began in 2010, just surpassed 100 graduates, and we couldn’t be prouder. As a new group of talented, motivated, and energetic young women join the ILSC family, we wanted to take some time to introduce a few of them and learn a bit more about their dreams and goals.

#ILSCGIVES – Making positive changes

As part of ILSC’s mission to provide transformational living and learning experiences to students around the world, we have introduced a new global initiative, #ILSCGIVES, to ensure this goal reaches students far and wide. For every registration ILSC and Greystone College receive, we are committed to donating $1 to the Learn to Earn program, so that more women like Mamta, Parmita, Divya, and Komal can have the opportunities to do great things. After this cohort has completed their program, over 100 women graduate from the LTE program – and with the exciting #ILSCGIVES initiative, the potential is endless.
