→Scholarships in Rural Communities: new section
Making education accessible to all is the need of the hour. There are many children unable to study due to their financial conditions. Many out there dreaming about being educated. While the others not valuing it enough. In the ever evolving world the gap between the rich and poor has widened. This has led to many disadvantaged communities not being able to acquire education .Ironically , the only solution to combat this widened gap in our society is through education. Thus, I would like to propose that education in elementary and middle school be made free of cost or atleast be provided with a fair amount of concession. And in the higher education I would suggest that the students would be given scholarships based on their interest and desire to study .Also lowering the high standards of qualification in the examinations conducted to provide scholarships has to be put into action.
== Scholarships in Rural Communities ==
I am from a small town in rural/remote Alaska. There are many problems in the community, especially since the pandemic. What there is no shortage of, though, is community support for our youth. We find that there are hundreds of scholarships, totaling over $1 million dollars.
My opinion and what I see in this article as well, is that you need to find people who have lived though or understand what it is like to grow up in a disadvantaged community and have made it. In my community, people who are well off and middle class donate what they can to provide a better future because they know the investment will pay off for the community in the future.
