7Being a Mastercard Foundation Scholar has no parallel with respect to making one believe in his/her abilities, providing unflinching support to help develop them, and eventually placing the individual in a pole position to make meaningful contributions to the world. Since becoming a Scholar, I have gained more confidence in myself to use my abilities to inspire others as well as make a telling impact in this world. I know I have the support to make my dreams a reality and also complete my personal project of giving back to the society that made me.
