Friends,
Today I want to share
information about North South Foundation
(NSF).
It is a volunteer
driven non-profit organization established in Illinois in 1989.
Founder:
Dr. Ratnam
Chitturi.
Mission:
- Develop human resources by giving scholarships to brilliant but needy students in India entering colleges, regardless of religion, gender, caste or creed.
- Promote excellence in human endeavour by organizing Educational Contests for the kids in USA.
- Help people achieve success regardless of religion, gender, caste, geographic origin by giving hope to those who may have none.
The NSF Scholarshipprogram in India is designed to encourage excellence among the poor children
who excel academically but need help to attend college. Each scholarship is
$250 per student per year. Are you in need of such scholarship to continue your higher studies? Apply for this scholarship.
Educational Contests organized by NSF in the US are
designed to encourage academic excellence among Indian American children. The
NSF spelling, vocabulary, math, essay writing, public speaking and geography
bees are conducted annually in two steps. Children initially participate in
Regional Contests. There are more than 65 centers in the US and Canada
organizing the Regional Contests every year.
Winners of these
contests are invited for the National Finals. National top rankers are awarded
scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $250, redeemable in the winners’ freshman
year of college. Many of the NSF children have also achieved top ranks in the
Scripps National Spelling Bee, MATHCOUNTS and National Geographic Bee.
