#### Financial Aid: Scholarship, Grants, CSR

ONEST aims to combat high dropout rates in school and higher education caused by economic factors by collaborating with multilateral and not-for-profit organizations to provide financial aid, scholarships, and grants. By offering a unified user experience, ONEST will enable students and professionals to discover and track their applications for financial support, increasing youth employability and improving job prospects in India. This multifaceted strategy involves schools, educators, families, communities, legislators, and various organizations to address the concerns surrounding dropout rates effectively.

#### Work Opportunities: Internship, Jobs, Gigs

ONEST will forge partnerships with large employment organizations, job portals, and employment agencies to connect job seekers with potential employers, facilitating the discovery of relevant internships and job opportunities for students and professionals. Additionally, it will cater to gig workers, offering them a means to explore project-based or short-term work, addressing the challenge of irregular and unpredictable income by providing a centralized gig discovery platform.
