"This is a great initiative; it will help deserving candidates pursue quality education. I firmly believe that nobody should be denied access to education because of financial constraints. This scholarship program is an amazing step in the right direction," said Yuvraj Singh, founder, YouWeCan Ventures, in a statement.
