The Maneck Trust
The Maneck Trust is dedicated to supporting exceptionally talented young individuals who demonstrate remarkable academic potential, ranking within the top 5% nationally. What sets our scholars apart is their extraordinary academic achievement despite facing significant socioeconomic challenges. These students have emerged from profoundly disadvantaged backgrounds, yet have consistently excelled in their studies.
Currently, the trust supports and guides scholars pursuing education at prestigious institutions like top medical colleges and Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). By providing comprehensive mentorship and funding, the Maneck Trust aims to dismantle systemic obstacles and empower exceptional students to realize their full potential, transforming individual lives and challenging generational limitations.
Rising from Rural Hardship to the pursuit of Medical Excellence
Shazia’s journey from the small lanes of Topsia to the halls of medical school exemplifies how determination, coupled with strong family values, can pave the way for extraordinary achievements, regardless of economic background.
From a Small Village to Indias Premier Engineering Institute
In the halls of IIT Kharagpur, among aspiring engineers, walks a testament to human perseverance Abhijit, a mechanical engineering student whose story transcends mere academic achievement. From the modest lanes of Malda, where his grandfather still steers an electric rickshaw to sustain the family, Abhijit has carved a path that defies social and economic gravity. His selection into India’s premier engineering institute isn’t just a personal victory; it’s a beacon of hope for countless others in similar circumstances.
Mission and Vision
Our organization is committed to identifying, nurturing, and empowering exceptional individuals who emerge from challenging backgrounds. We seek applicants who demonstrate not just potential, but a powerful combination of skills, determination, and unwavering tenacity to excel in their chosen professional paths.
Our vision is to cultivate promising young talent emerging from difficult backgrounds, transforming raw potential into impactful leadership. We seek out and support remarkable individuals who have demonstrated resilience and exceptional capabilities despite facing significant adversity.
The Magic Circle
The dream with which Ethan began this venture celebrated a day many years from now where Maneck Trust alumni found themselves in senior positions in different fields. Having transcended grinding poverty, they did not merely get by but succeeded beyond all reasonable expectations. Ethan asked himself a question.
What would this group of remarkable individuals do to improve the lives of the poor and disadvantaged in the future?
Some questions are only answered with the passage of time
