The YKR Memorial Scholarship is the coming true of the vision that an extraordinary person had during his life, Mr. Yeruva Koti Reddy.
As an individual who always looked at the world as an expanse of opportunities, Mr. Yeruva Koti Reddy wished to make a difference. Coming from a small village with a meager source of income, he began sowing seeds of his dream which could be carried forward by his son. Faith is taking the first step even when one does not see the whole staircase and Mr. Yeruva Koti Reddy took the first step by beginning the education of his son with the best he could provide. It is the result of this first step that Mr. Sairam Yeruva was able to materialize the dream of his father Mr. Yeruva Koti Reddy, several years after. Mr. Sairam Yeruva continues his father’s belief that “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest” and in memory of a great man has brought about this noble guiding hand to give equal opportunities to all talented and deserving.
YKR Memorial Scholarship provides scholarships to talented students who lack the financial resources to further their education. In order to encourage the pursuit of knowledge and prevent the wastage of future leaders, YKR Memorial Scholarship is a way to guide and lead the journey of gifted students. The Scholarship is awarded on the basis of outstanding academic qualifications and financial need. The YKR Memorial Scholarship also wishes that it develops a sense of responsibility, an awareness of self-potential, an implementation of a sound character, overall growth as a future leader and the involvement in extracurricular activities by these skilled, smart students.
India is a country with an immense pool of well-qualified educational institutes, a place that attracts other countries’ students as well. In such a scenario, we want to ensure that our own children get the opportunities they deserve to utilize and benefit from their own country. As it has been proven over the years, India is an educative mine of gifted and extremely smart individuals waiting to be explored.
The scope of this scholarship is to enable individuals and institutes to avail the opportunities of education available in the country by aiding them to choose the field of knowledge of their choice, at the same time exposing them to different people and cultures whilst helping them grow as an individual- all qualities needed for a youth to pursue his dream and have a successful career. This Scholarship seeks to enrich the underprivileged by giving them a fair chance at being what they could be otherwise.
The YKR Memorial Scholarship is our humble way of extending a friendly hand to help, guide & aid anyone who has the determination of our forefathers and a will to succeed in life and make every step worthwhile!
