The partnership significantly benefits deserving graduates of the school by making them eligible for scholarships to pursue undergraduate programs at GITAM across various disciplines and equips them for success in a dynamic world.
Elaborating on the partnership, Prof, Dayanada Siddavattam, Vice Chancellor of GITAM (Deemed to be University), said, ‘This partnership with The Future Kids School is a strategic investment in their academic and professional futures.
