We have heard about a lot of multi-millionaires around the world. We will look into a multi-millionaire, who reached that position by his own endeavor and hard work. He is Bill Gates. He has started his career as a software programmer and reached the well-off man in the world. He has made a mark in the society with his personality, vision and humanitarian endeavor done in American Society. We will look into one such cause, that is teaching for the deprived.

Bill Gates has formed a institution with his wife Melinda Gates to spread the endeavor to help lowly students of different communities. The institution provides funding for students who are coming from very low income families. They have named the scholarships as Bill Gates Scholarships. The students from different ethnic groups like Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanics and Asian and Pacific Islanders are privileged under this scholarship. There are various scholarships based on the need of each module.

The institution provides different amount of contribution to different type of organization. For example, historically black colleges and establishment who gives funding to deprived family, the institution provides contribution.

Gates Millennium Scholars Program is the main attraction for students. It is given to students who are excellent in their studious subject but are from low income families. The institution does not insist a lot of form filling process to provide these scholarships.

There is no hard and fast rules on the eligibility criteria for the student. A grade of 3.3 or a GED or even a graduate degree can make you adequate for the scholarship. This is how the program varies from other scholarship programs.

The institution provides scholarships to national who are not US citizens. But they should have a permanent residence license. The aim of the institution is to spread Information technology to each corner of the society.

The student scholarship is not aimed to completely relieve the students and their families from paying coaching charge. The aim of providing scholarship is to support the families to reduce the burden of paying coaching charge of their students. The institution provides an average of $15000/ year to a graduate student. An undergraduate student will get an average of $7000/year only.

The student who receives the scholarship can look for any on campus job so that they can completely give the coaching charge without depending anyone else or giving the burden to their families. Applying for any other scholarship prevent the students from the burden of student loans.
