Crescent Scholarship

Supported by Jai Rajpal

Overview

This scholarship is designed to create opportunities that endure. Backed by endowment, it supports partial aid scholars, recognises Dean's List recipients, and enables transformative experiences such as internships and conference participation. As the corpus is preserved, its annual returns continue to benefit new generations of students, ensuring a lasting legacy. The scholarship will carry Jai Rajpal's name for 24 years, connecting every recipient with the generosity that made their journey possible.

Founder's Message

"I wanted my contribution to outlive a single year's budget. An endowment means the students I will never meet will still benefit from a decision I made today. That is the kind of impact I was looking for."

Testimonials

Hear from our students about their experiences in the program.

  • I came to Plaksha with a passion for building technology, having already developed an AI based career counselling app during school. The opportunity to keep pursuing that passion led me to Pathfinder AI, where winning the CTLC Flash Pitch Competition and taking the idea through incubation showed me how innovation grows when ideas are given the chance to evolve.
