If you can dream it, you can do it!
Ullas Trust (A Polaris Foundation social initiative) was started in 1997 with an aim to integrate Intellect’s Associates into a larger community, where they could enjoy the bliss of working with young minds in the country.
The primary motive of Ullas is to recognise academic excellence in students from economically-challenged sections of our society and encourage a ‘can do’ spirit, for them to chase their dreams and aspirations. Very early in its evolution, Ullas decided to focus its energy on students during the most vulnerable stage in their journey – adolescence! This would translate into students from Class (Grade) 9th to 12th.
Roadmap of an Ullas Scholar
While Ullas does award annual merit scholarships to the students, the vision was very clearly to go beyond scholarships and give a head-start to the Young Achievers by:
- Encouraging them to dream big and with conviction, through annual workshops
- Empowering students with self-enrichment programs during weekends
- Providing students with a “touch and feel” of the corporate environment
- Giving them a unique opportunity to be mentored by successful IT professionals
