The sponsorship may be open, leaving the choice of beneficiary to the management of East & West Primary / High School, or one may like to nominate a child (or more children) of their own choice. It is possible to sponsor on behalf of or in the name of one's parents or near and dear ones, and it will be duly recorded and acknowledged and progress report will be sent as per the option given by the sponsor. Donors will be kept posted with the progress of the sponsored child or the group of children being sponsored by them.

Eligibility of children for sponsorship

Children from disadvantaged groups or weaker sections which find it difficult to support education of their children even at the low expenses will be eligible for full sponsorship unless the sponsor admits a particular child to the school on his / her own or nominates a specific child.
