Amazon Scholarship

Foundation for Excellence’s goals are aligned with SDG Goal 4, which aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” FFE scholars are usually “First Generation Learners’, from underserved, and economically constrained backgrounds. Amazon Future Engineer is an initiative by Amazon to enable access to computer science learning and career opportunities for young people in India. The AFE- FFE Scholarship program aims to transform the lives of academically gifted and financially needy students, preferably girls from all over India by enabling access and support of Engineering, computer science and related professional education. Apart from the financial and other assistance provided to the AFE India Scholars, Amazon will also provide a laptop, mentorship, skill building opportunities and networking opportunities along with a chance to appear for Amazon Internship. Amazon Future Engineer scholars get exposure to the Amazon business through fireside chats with senior leaders and Amazonians, interactions with technology teams, and skills-building hackathon. AFE Scholars will build bonds with their fellow intern cohort by collaborating on projects and through social events – so if you join us as an AFE Scholar, you’ll have lots of fellow scholars from a diverse background to go through this experience with you! This scholarship will propel you to a successful professional career in a single generation, lifting your family out of the poverty cycle. This Scholarship is available to candidates irrespective of the applicant’s caste, community, or religion.
