1,000 Dreams Fund Unveils Our Paliwal Club of 100 S.T.E.A.M. and Music Scholars Winners for 2022!

There’s no better way to start an incredible year than with the announcement today of our Paliwal Club of 100 S.T.E.A.M. Scholars and Music Scholars Fund Winners for the 2022 year.

Since 2019, the Paliwal Club of 100 has been supporting high-potential young women in S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), thanks to our incredible partnership with Ila and Dinesh Paliwal Foundation and their two children, Aasheesh (“ShiShi”) and Shriya. 

Last year, when we added a Paliwal Club of 100 Music Scholars program, it was music to our ears — because, when we advance women in both the arts and sciences, we advance society.

The mission behind both the STEAM Scholars and the Music Scholars programs is to help accelerate students’ progress in school while providing continued support through their transition into the workforce.

Our 15 winners each receive $1,000 scholarships to assist with educational opportunities that extend beyond tuition. That could be anything from research-related costs, to travel for conventions and/or educational conferences, graduate school exam or entrance fees, instructional programs related to creative or artistic pursuits, and more.
