Our promises to every applicant
No agents
No one can apply on your behalf or influence the result. Donors do not choose scholars.
No fees, ever
MyHeti never charges to apply. Anyone asking you for money in our name is not from MyHeti.
No community details
We never ask for caste or community. Selection is based on need, merit and motivation.
An answer for everyone
Every applicant receives a decision, and we help those not selected find other scholarships.
Once you are a MyHeti Scholar
MyHeti Scholars keep at least 75% in every examination with no arrears, attend regularly, and take part in mentoring and communication training. Once in employment, MyHeti Scholars are encouraged to help a deserving scholar, just as MyHeti helped them. This is how the MyHeti family grows, and how every scholar gets the chance to give back.
