Provide women’s access schemes, including mentoring, scholarships, or other provision

At KISS-DU, various women’s access schemes are in place to ensure that female students, especially first-generation Indigenous women, have the necessary support to succeed in higher education. These schemes include mentoring, scholarships, and other provisions aimed at addressing the unique challenges faced by women.

  • Mentoring: KISS-DU offers a robust mentoring program that connects female students with faculty, alumni, and other relevant stakeholders. This mentorship helps women navigate academic challenges, build leadership skills, and receive guidance on career planning. Mentors also provide emotional and psychological support, helping students develop confidence and resilience in their academic and personal lives.
  • Scholarships: KISS-DU provides various scholarship opportunities to female students, including merit-based scholarships and need-based financial aid. These scholarships aim to reduce the financial burden of education and ensure that Indigenous women, particularly from the most marginalized and backward areas , have access to quality education.
  • Other provisions: KISS-DU also offers additional provisions to support women’s success. This includes safe, women-friendly campus facilities, career development programs, leadership training, and access to extracurricular activities that enhance personal and professional growth. The institution also provides resources such as academic tutoring, counselling, and workshops to address specific needs and challenges faced by female students.

These access schemes are part of KISS – DU commitment to creating an inclusive, supportive, and empowering environment for women, ensuring that they have equal opportunities to succeed and excel in higher education.
