The Foundation for Excellence (FFE) is a publicly supported, non-profit organization.
FFE's focus is to provide funds for higher education to students in India who are academically gifted and come from very low income families.

Since inception, the foundation has provided over $4.35 million in over 20,900 scholarships to deserving students in the 25 states in India, over 40% of who are girls.
 
The objective driving our programs is "No Scholar Left Behind". We truly believe that these young people will be a significant part of a socially and economically stronger India in the near future.

With the help of our donors and volunteers, we plan to keep on with our efforts until every deserving student in India gets the education that she or he deserves.
