person whose life changed.

"Hi, I am Ayush, the winner of the D.R.F. scholarship of 2018 and 2019. This award gave me the motivation to work harder for my best future interests. While applying, we had to write an application about our accomplishments and the best ones were chosen. I received a cash prize along with a gift hamper. The award helped me pay the fees for various academic events and entrance exams. However, the most important was the guidance and mentorship, which was given to me throughout the whole year in fields of academics, sports, and extracurriculars. This helped me a lot. The scholarship is an excellent platform for the students to enhance their skills."

"I am very glad to be the winner of DRF scholarship 2018 and would like to express my gratitude to Devanshi mam because she gave me a chance to participate in this program. It was a wonderful learning experience as a winner for a period of one year as I received special guidance from Devanshi mam, both online and offline support that helped me perform better in my academics. I used my prize money to participate in various other competitions including chess tournaments, which helped me to gain experience and improve my skills in the game."

I participated in the second DRF Scholarships and was a winner this time around. This prize boosted my confidence and also gave me a lot of motivation to succeed further in my goals.

"I learnt and understood so many diverse aspects of life through the scholarship. The mentoring program helped me to connect with people whose success stories were highly inspirational. The interactive webinars gave me a broader perspective towards failure, struggle, and life goals. The webinars were my weekly delights, and I used to look forward to attending the sessions. Overall, I'm grateful to DRF for selecting me as one of their scholars."

"I served as a virtual volunteer for the foundation. I had excellent exposure to the working of a foundation to enrich the society. During my time at DRF, I experienced how the foundation aims to stand by its mission to empower the community through education, sports, healthcare, and sustainability. It was a great opportunity to work with the DR Foundation."
