Beneficiaries

During the 150 years since it’s inception, the Fund has benefited thousands of native young boys and girls from Kodagu. Giving a fillip to their education, their hopes and ambitions have fructified into successful careers.

It is a matter of pride for Coorg – and the Coorg Education Fund that its scholarships have benefited young men and women who have professionally excelled in Medicine, Dental, Engineering, Information Technology, Defence and the Administrative Services, besides other fields. Today, many of them are successfully settled overseas.

A number of outstanding young people have also been honoured with special prizes and merit certificates in Education, Sports and other extra curricular activities.
