“Pay Forward”

… is at the core of every Koshish scholarship

I believe in change.

I believe that no student should fall behind for lack of financial resources and thus not realize her or his full potential.

I acknowledge that I have benefited from the kindness of Koshish Foundation in pursuing my education.

I recognize the goodness in myself.

I pledge to contribute back to Koshish Foundation at least the amount I availed and hopefully more.

I recognize that integrity is doing the right thing, even if nobody is watching.

I stand for, believe in and possess integrity.

I understand that everyone, starting from me, have a role to play to bring a positive change in our society.

I pledge to be a change maker.

So help me God.
