For the 2024-2025 academic year beginning in July 2024, KEY International has
funded scholarships for 2,800 low-income children from sixteen schools in
Chennai. Each of these children has received an average scholarship of about $53
this year, which covers a substantial portion of their annual tuition fees. The total
funding from KEY International this year for all these children was about $148,00
(approximately Indian Rupees INR 12,500,000). Details of the 16 schools are
given in the webpage www.keyinternational.org under the tab 2024 Projects.

The principal and teachers at each school (with my approval) have selected the
children based on their academic performance and their low-income status.
Twenty-five children from each class starting the 6th grade to the 12 th grade were
selected for a total of 175 students in each of the 16 schools. The students must
maintain a minimum level of academic performance (equivalent to maintaining an
average 'B' in the US) to continue receiving the scholarship till they finish their
high school. 

Key International acknowledges the help of Dr. Koen van Rompay, (the founder of
www.sayaha.org) in facilitating the awarding of the scholarships. These
scholarships will help the students complete their high school, enabling them to
lead more fulfilling and productive lives. All these children receiving scholarships
come from families whose average family monthly income is less than about
$200. 

The web page www.keyinternational.org, has details of the projects for the
previous years. The CPR Foundation (cprafoundation.org) will continue to
monitor the progress of the children from eleven schools, and each of the
remaining five schools will be monitored by the DMS Trust and CHILD
organization respectively.

​Thanks to your generosity during the last 23 years in improving the lives of these
children, KEY International has been able to provide scholarship support to
low-income children for 15,505 ‘scholarship years’ (about 80% of the support
has been for girls and about 20% of the support for boys).
