Story

The scholarship fund we are contributing to celebrates the life of Akhil Chadha, our friend and classmate, who sadly is no longer with us. The fund will contribute to the annual tuition of a bright and deserving Indian student to attend the United World College (UWC) of India each year.

Attending UWC had an immense impact on Akhil’s life and on all of us. This is why, in an impressive effort led by Aditya Kalyanasundaram (Class of ’06), Aditya Malhotra (Class of ‘06) and Ameve Sharma (Class of ‘05), our community got together and deemed the best way to commemorate our friend would be to allow others to experience the same life-changing two years.

More details about Tejashree Jadhav, this year’s Scholarship recipient -- who starts classes in August 2018 -- can be found on the official page of the Scholarship Fund: https://giving.uwcmahindracollege.org/akhil-chadha-scholarship
