Choose a Scholar: Choose and support a scholar whose background, region, field of study, or language resonates with you. All students are top performers from low income families, first generation college graduates, and are deeply motivated to succeed.

The journey of hope and opportunity

Musfira's Goldman Sachs achievement

Shalini at 2019 Rangeela Fundraiser

At the 2019 Rangeela Fundraiser, Shalini raised her hand to support an SSF scholar. She felt an immediate sense of kinship with Musfira who is from her home state of Bihar, India. Over the next few years, they forged a strong connection through video/phone conversations and SSF updates. Shalini feels humbled to have had the opportunity to provide support and advice, develop a mentor-mentee relationship, and celebrate Musfira’s accomplishments, the most recent being her placement with Goldman Sachs.

I have been sponsoring kids via SSF for a couple of years now. The reason I chose to get associated with SSF is because I get to meet these students whenever I want to. I also get to interview them during the selection process, which I really appreciate. I can even mentor the kids and get to see their success and progress. Thank you SSF for letting me do this.

Education is the most powerful gift you can give someone, as it unlocks the doors to a brighter future. Thank you Shooting Stars for giving us an opportunity to be a part of your bigger mission. We really enjoy connecting with the scholar and being part of their celebration as they graduate through these years and become engineers or doctors. I look forward to many more years of seeing this joyful journey along with SSF.

I have been associated with SSF since 2018. So far, I have sponsored the education for two girl students. It has been an immense pleasure to work with these kids. My family and I wanted to give back to the community and I was really surprised how transparent SSF is. I would encourage everyone to sponsor education for children. Even a small amount can entirely transform a child’s life.

“We wanted to bring change. Since the past three years we have been sponsoring a couple of kids who have been pursuing their medical education. We decided to get associated with SSF because they did all the work, they found the kids who are in need of funds. As donors, we are aware of where our money is going.
