The Internshala Career Scholarship for Girls is an annual award of INR 25,000/- meant to help advance one girl’s career in her chosen field.

• An element of achievement – you must have done remarkably well in your chosen field, be it academics, sports, music or arts.
• An element of purpose – the purpose for which you will use the scholarship amount.
• An element of need – everything else being the same, the scholarship would be awarded to someone who is in greater financial need (family income, absence of any other scholarships etc.)
