   Breaking the

   cycle of poverty...

   through education

Welcome to The Foundation for Excellence

The Foundation For Excellence Inc. (FFE) is a publicly supported 501 (c) (3) organization (EIN 77-0474749). Our mission is to help economically underprivileged and academically bright students in India complete their higher education. The Foundation seeks to achieve its mission through its Scholarship Program.

Because of their family's extremely poor income conditions - where the average income for a family of four is less than a few dollars per day, academically outstanding students are often forced to discontinue their education. FFE's programs help students break the cycle of poverty that generations before them have had to endure and to harness their talent to make them productive members of society. Educating youth has an impact not only on the individual, but the family, the community and the country as a whole.
