Single mother asking how can I get support for my daughter's education

I am single mother earning 35000 monthly with ed tech and my daughter is very bright student of 6th standard and I am solely taking care of her since she is 7 months old independently. Her % are more than 90% always and she is also a good basket ball player. I almost had 5+ years gap in my career due to divorce case and taking care of her. In those years too I kept working and almost earned around 10k per month. I started my career working with investment banking and I had to leave that due to all these responsibilities. Now as everyone are aware about how education has became costly my all earnings are going for her education and I am only focusing to Apr and Nov as these are the months when I need to pay her school fees in instalments. Her school don't provide scholarships, I did not found any govt policies who helps for single mother (who is not widow) to help their child education for middle school. Can anyone guide me is there any Institutes or CSR activities or Sponsors who provide support for bright kids for their school fees (even not fully but may be any part possibly). If any exams are needed report card is needed we are open for it to check her criteria for the same. **I have not taken any help from my retired parents yet for this and wish not to further as well, as they have already supported a lot directly indirectly. Her father never took any responsibility and also never ever met her and asked about her. Never expected any sympathy and I am proud and strong 39 years old parent working hard for her better present and future.

@BiryaniEnthu, maybe you know something. Shooting in the dark.

@PepperyImplication, my advice is to file a case in the court for alimony.

No to get justice I wasted my 5+ years in the court, he having good income he chosen not to be present in the court on dates and paying penalty of 500/- after missing 3 dates that person never thought about daughter when she was 7 months why will he do now and that too after getting married. Court case is waste of time

@JadeArgent Can you please help here? I'm a noob in law, but I think she can get some alimony.

Yep, she definitely can but it can definitely be time consuming (especially the pursuit of finding good representation). From her posts and comments it seems like she didn't have the best representation previously

Feeling depressed at Amazon(2YOE/41L CTC). Anyone else feeling the same way?

I can't seem to relate to much of the non-FAANG junta out there. I mean I have a cushy job with probably 0.1% pay of all SWEs(pretty much like all of us do). But these cookie-cutter roles have been taking a mental toll on me. Like I am g...
