The Cadence Scholarship Program (CSP) was conceptualized and implemented with the support of Cadence Design Systems Private Limited & Concern India Foundation to address the issue of retaining talented students from the less privileged section of society in the academic cycle for better livelihood.

Under this scholarship, the students pursuing undergraduate or postgraduate courses in Delhi-NCR, Bangalore, Pune & Ahmedabad regions will receive financial support for their key educational expenses.

Our accumulative reach since 2016 has been 422 deserving students from the regions specified. It has enabled them to pursue various degree/professional courses like, B.Tech, MBBS, BDS, B. Pharma, etc., and helped them chase their dreams.
