The kids that starred in the movie "Slumdog Millionaire" could lose their trust fun if they don't go to school.

10 year old Rubina Ali and 11 year old Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail have missed more than 3/4 of her classes.

After filming the director set up a trust fund and a monthly stipend that depended on there attending school. They also purchased a one-bedroom apartment for Azhar and him family to live in. They tried to do the same for Rubina, but her family has not decided on any of the apartments yet, as they felt they were too small or too far away from school.

Noshir Dadrawala an administrator of the trust said, that if the children's attendance did not rise above 70 percent that they would lose their monthly stipend and if they did not graduate they would lose the lump sum payment set aside for the future.
