Growing up as the daughter of a daily wage laborer and a homemaker, I’ve seen how hard my parents work to keep my education and my younger sister’s schooling on track. Now, as a third-year Chemical Engineering student at JNTU Kakinada, I balance my studies with hobbies like sketching, badminton, and horror movies. But paying hostel fees was always a struggle—until the NSF Scholarship stepped in. Their support helped cover those costs, easing my family’s burden and letting me focus on my ultimate goal: cracking the GATE exam to secure a bright future. Every day, I’m reminded that this scholarship isn’t just about money—it’s about believing in dreams like mine.
