Objectives of English ACCESS MicroScholarship Program India

The main objective of the English Access Microscholarship Program India is to empower students from non-English speaking countries by teaching them professional skills, social skills, and leadership.

The English Access Microscholarship program India develops social awareness among students living in the country to identify the problems and learn about different solutions for these problems.

Even though English is a bit difficult for non-English country students, English Access Program Microscholarship India uses different learning methods to make the English Language a part of their lives.

The English Access Microscholarship Program imparts basic Language skills to school students from economically poor backgrounds, between the age of 13 to 20.
