Student Pledge

• I have been accepted to the _________________________ college (college or university name), located in ________________ (city) for studies starting in ________________ (month and year).

• My family cannot afford to pay for my college costs. Without financial assistance, I would not be able to attend this college.

If accepted for financial assistance by the Kapadia Education Foundation, I pledge the following:

1) That any financial assistance by Kapadia Education Foundation’s sponsors will be used only for tuition, room (lodging), board (food), and communication costs (postage or email) and nothing else; all other expenses, including clothing, travel and pocket money will be paid for by other sources. I will not ask my sponsor for any additional funds except for those used for my college costs.

2) That in order to continue to receive financial assistance, I will have to remain a student in good standing at the college, and as a minimum have passing grades each year; and that I will be responsible for sending the official college grades to the Foundation at the end of each study term.

3) That I will send monthly progress reports in the form of letters or emails to my sponsor; and that I will ask my sponsor for any non-financial help such as advice or opinions related to my college studies that may help me succeed in college.

4) That upon graduating from college, I will help find another potential student who needs financial assistance and refer him or her to the Kapadia Education Foundation.

5) That upon being established in a paying job or business, I will provide financial support of at least 25% of the cost of a college education for another student from my home country in the Kapadia Education Foundation program; and

6) That at no time will I make money in the form of commissions or fees from potential Student Candidates or from the Foundation.

I have read the Student Pledge. By signing below, I agree to follow the terms and conditions upon which financial assistance will be given to me. I agree that if I do not follow these terms and conditions, I will no longer be eligible for financial assistance.
