Navya Madhu
Junior Laureate,
WAAH Science Laureate Award 2023
Hello everyone! I am Navya Madhu, proud winner of the Junior WAAH Science Laureate Award 2023, along with a scholarship of ₹40,000. Initially, I had several ideas for how to use this scholarship. However, upon learning about WAAH's mission to support students passionate about science, I felt inspired to give back. I requested WAAH to allocate my scholarship to students lacking resources or facing financial challenges, hoping to make a positive difference in their lives.
