Emory imbues scholarship with humane teaching and mentorship, openness and diversity of thought, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to community. As a result, Emory students expect their scholarship to create positive change beyond classroom walls.
As a student, Emory College alumna Elizabeth Sholtys split her time between Emory and the Mahindra United World College of India, where she began working with Mumbai street children in 2004. She was a freshman then, with an interest in anthropology, and her research into the health risks these children face led her to a clear decision: She would found an orphanage.
A year and a lifetime of effort later, the new Ashraya Initiative for Children in Pune, India, accepted its first residents. In Hindi, Ashraya means hope, trust, shelter, and protection.
