The famous Colgate scholarship 2016 programme, which continues from 29 January to 29 February, is offering up to Rs. 1L to an estimated of 200 students this year. Spearheaded in the year 2009, it has so far benefitted 1200 families.
Issam Bachaalani, managing director, Colgate-Palmolive (India) Limited said, “We'd like to believe that with some of our initiatives, we can create a small yet meaningful impact in their lives. One such initiative is the scholarship programme, which we hope will be an enabler for children to pursue their ambitions and make the best of life's opportunities. We are thankful to the millions of families who have participated in the scholarship programme and would like to extend a special thanks to the past year's scholarship winners who have come forward and shared their stories.”
The scholarship helps in fulfilling various education requirements of students, like enrolment in better schools, enrolment in private classes, purchase of books and stationery, etc.
The path to win this scholarship is rather easy; all that needs to be done is dialling the toll-free number printed on Colgate toothpaste packing and answering a few oral care questions.
