Pune Techie Credits Sachin Tendulkar Foundation for Education Support
A young man named Kshitij, who is now a techie, shared a story about how a special foundation started by the famous cricketer Sachin Tendulkar helped him go to college.
Kshitij was a very good student, but his family didn't have enough money for him to study engineering.
The Sachin Tendulkar Foundation decided to help him by paying for almost half of his school fees.
To keep getting this help, Kshitij had to get really good grades, like an 8 or higher, in all his classes.
He worked hard and got a great score, graduating with good marks.
He even got to meet other students who also received help from the foundation.
Sachin Tendulkar himself sent him a message to keep chasing his dreams.
Pune techie Kshitij Vaze revealed on X that the Sachin Tendulkar Foundation (STF) financially supported his engineering education.
Vaze received support for his studies at Pimpri-Chinchwad College of Engineering (PCCOE) in Pune.
The STF provides financial aid to meritorious students from economically weaker backgrounds.
To maintain the scholarship, Vaze needed to achieve a CGPA of 8+, which he did, graduating with 8.12.
Vaze was invited to a felicitation ceremony and received a personal message from Sachin Tendulkar encouraging him to chase his dreams.
