Education is a bridge to opportunity, but for many underprivileged students, the journey remains out of reach. In India the North South Foundation has been a guiding light championing excellence in education for economically disadvantaged yet academically brilliant students. Through its scholarship program, NSF India has transformed the lives of nearly 20,000 students by awarding scholarships worth Rs. 36 crores in just the last decade alone. With an approach that emphasizes both merit and need, NSF opens doors for aspiring engineers, doctors, and diploma holders across India.
