The Ashoka Young Scholars Programme (YSP) is a certified, summer residential programme, designed to give motivated students entering grades 9-12 an exposure to a liberal arts & sciences education at the university level. From the Sciences to Economics, AI to Psychology, Computational Thinking to Design Thinking, International Affairs to Writing with Impact, and Business to Policy, YSP immerses students in an intellectually vibrant environment where they can engage deeply with ideas across disciplines. As students explore how diverse fields shape our understanding of the world, they develop essential skills and gain new perspectives that will set them apart as they prepare for college, careers, and life beyond.
Edition 1: May 18 – May 29, 2026

One of the best experiences of my summer, hands down! I made so many new friends, explored topics I was genuinely interested in, gained a taste of college life, and enjoyed endless iced tea. I especially loved how thoughtfully the sessions were designed to flow into one another, and how there were at least 2-3 sessions that brought the entire YSP Session 2 cohort together for a shared experience.
– Anusha Chavare, YSP Economics, Policy & Society (Now Economics, Policy and Governance), Grade 11, DLRC, The Learning Farm, Pune
The session featured a screening of the ‘Sundarbans’ documentary. As someone passionate about sustainability and the impact of our choices on the environment, I thoroughly enjoyed it and gained new insights. A key takeaway for me was that nature always gives back and protects us, as long as we respect and don’t exploit it.
