Your students have the ideas. Help them climb.
A FAER team is guided by a faculty member at their own college — named on the project, and there through the year. If that is you, the talent in your classroom finally has somewhere to go.
Before you say yes
What a guide actually does.
You pick the team, not the syllabus
You know which students have the spark and no route. Guiding starts with putting them in front of us.
You keep the work honest
You are named on the project. Your job is to keep a team scoped, moving and truthful about what they built.
A season at a time
The climb, from where you stand.
- 01Reach
They hear about it from you.
Reach happens in your classroom — a student learns FAER exists because their teacher said so.
- 02Apply
You help them apply.
Online, in about thirty minutes. Their progress saves as they go.
- 03Build
You guide the build.
You are named on the project, and FAER’s support of up to ₹6,000 covers the parts.
- 04Prove
They defend it.
People read the work, and everyone who applies gets feedback.
- 05Win
The strongest teams take a prize.
₹1,00,000, ₹75,000 and ₹50,000 — and the work goes on the record, your name beside theirs.
Mentorship is the single biggest predictor of whether a first-generation student makes it.

Nothing. Students apply directly to the Scholar Awards, and project support for approved teams comes from FAER and its sponsors.
