Mumbai, India: Group Legrand India, the leading provider of electrical and digital building infrastructure and a leading name in empowering lives and lighting up millions of Indian homes is delighted to announce the application process for ‘Legrand Empowering Scholarship Program’ for the new batch of 2023-24. The scholarship encourages applications from deserving girl students, differently abled students, and transgender students from across India.

Being a socially responsible organization certified by GEEIS (International Certificate for D&I Commitment), gender equality has remained a prominent area of action. The ‘Legrand Empowering Scholarship’ was established in 2018 to actively support educational initiatives that empower girls.

Since its inception, the program has supported more than 400+ girls students pursuing Engineering, Architecture, Science, Technology, Finance, and other related fields from recognized colleges and universities across India, including differently abled and transgender students.

Mr. Tony Berland, CEO & MD of Group Legrand India said, “We believe in the power of education and its ability to transform lives. The Legrand Empowering Scholarship Program is a testament to our commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive academic environment. By empowering deserving girls, differently abled and transgender students we aim to build a brighter and more equitable future.”

In addition to providing financial support for education, Legrand initiated the Student Mentorship Program in 2022. This program is designed to nurture future women leaders by offering holistic development through mentoring, building confidence, providing life skills, soft skills, and career guidance. Over 50 beneficiaries of the Legrand Scholarship have completed their mentorship programs, and fresh batches are welcomed annually.

Legrand partners with Buddy4Study, a reputed organization, to facilitate the application and selection process for the scholarship program. Interested students can enroll through the Buddy4Study portal.

For 2023-24, the Legrand Empowering Scholarship Program aims to support 100 scholars. The scholarship benefit will continue until the successful completion of the students’ academic program, based on their performance.
