A spark, while a small thing, can lead to a revolution on its own. A spark can also be an intense feeling that can ignite a huge change. In India, talent is abundant. Yet, not every talented individual gets the right opportunity to fulfil their potential. This is prevalent in both the fields of sports and academia. And this is set to change with the launch of the #JeetegaSparkHi scholarship program by Sunstone in association with the new entrants in the T20 cricket league, Lucknow Super Giants.
While LSG has put up a rock-solid squad to challenge the other established teams in the league, Sunstone is rapidly gaining fame as a leading higher education service provider in the field of education. These two emerging superstars have united to offer the chance to the youth of India to rise as well. This is in the form of a scholarship program that intends to provide financial aid to deserving students aspiring to pursue an undergraduate or postgraduate degree this year.
How does the scholarship work?
As LSG players take the field for each match, Sunstone will dole out scholarships based on each milestone achieved by the LSG team. So, whenever LSG takes a wicket or a player scores a 50, and for each run scored by the team, Sunstone will give out a scholarship at the end of every LSG match which can be availed till the next LSG match. Each student can avail a maximum scholarship amount of Rs. 30,000 to help pursue their degree and achieve their life’s goals.
The breakup of the scholarship amount is given below
| LSG Move | Amount per move |
| Sixes by LSG in a match | INR 6,000 |
| Fours by LSG in a match | INR 4,000 |
| Wickets taken by LSG in a match | INR 1,00,000 |
| Half centuries per match | INR 5,00,000 |
| Catches in a match | INR 1,00,000 |
