Appreciation from the scholarship recipient
ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂਜੀਕਾਖ਼ਾਲਸਾਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂਜੀਕੀਫ਼ਤਹਿ II Ji The Mata Bhaag Kaur Scholarship fills a dire need in the Panth, not only as one of the few scholarships targeting Sikhs, but the only one to my knowledge to focus on Amritdhari Kaurs. Moreover, the scholarship is unique in that it prioritizes not only scholarly pursuit but spiritual pursuit, as evidenced by its thoughtful essay prompts (the meaning of Dasvand, for example) and questions related to the number of Baaniya that an applicant has memorized (kanth). Personally, as a low-income, first-generation medical student at UCSF, every penny counts, and the scholarship has allowed me to avoid several thousands of dollars in high-interest loans. I am extremely thankful the Sangat has taken on this Seva, and once I graduate, I hope to give back to this fund. Until then, it is my hope and ardaas that this initiative remain sustainable and with Guru Sahib's Kirpa, hopefully increases in scale, to continue to help ease the financial burden of Kaurs like myself pursuing education at all levels.

Project Update
Khalsa Media team has worked on a few initiatives last year. One of the initiative is to provide financial support to financially disadvantaged girls who want to study after high school but can’t continue without financial support from an external source. Total six girls were supported in 2017 ( 3 girls received Mata Bhag Kaur Scholarships and 3 were supported by giving them financial support to continue their higher education. Below is an email from Pawandeep Kaur (India):
“Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ji Fateh, I am Pawandeep Kaur D/O Late S.Kuldeep Singh, student of Bsc Nursing 3rd year in APS College of Nursing Malsian, Distt. Jalandhar.
With due respect, I am very thankful to Khalsa Media Services who supported me in studying in Bsc nursing. I always wanted to study. Because my father passed away in 1999 and my mother is a housewife and not able to pay my fee, I cannot thank you enough for all the support and helping me continue my study.
I always had interest in studying but this financial support gave me an opportunity so I could study and do good job in my future. I also want my mother and Khalsa Media Services to feel proud of me and I will always try to give my best to all my family members and Khalsa Media Services. My aim in Future is to help others who need the help like me. I am really thankful to Khalsa Media Services for this act of kindness. “
