The Foundation for Excellence is a publicly supported non-profit organization. The FFE's focus is to provide funds for higher education to students in India who are academically gifted and from low-income families. Since its inception, the foundation has provided over $11.4 million in over 81,590 scholarships to 28,782 deserving students across 28 states in India. The objective driving the programs is "No Scholar Left Behind." FFE believes that these young people will be a significant part of a socially and economically stronger India in the near future. With the help of donors and volunteers, FFE plans to keep on with its efforts until every deserving student in India gets the education that she or he deserves. The mission of Foundation For Excellence (FFE) is to help exceptionally talented but economically underprivileged students in India to pursue their higher education in Engineering, medicine, Pharmacy and Law. FFE awards scholarships to recent high school students who have overcome the adversity of their family's circumstances to be among the top ranked in national/state level common entrance tests, based on their secured admissions to quality engineering and medical colleges. In addition to the financial help FFE provides employability skills and mentoring for the complete development of Scholarship awardees.
