Annual family income is less than Rs. 65,000

We request the help of all NSF parents to spread the word using emails and facebook to all family and friends in India.

North South Foundation provides scholarships to needy children who display academic excellence in India. NSF has distributed more than 4,500 scholarships to students who need financial support to pursue their quest for knowledge in engineering, medicine, polytechnic, science and other fields.

The scholarship is an annual award and not a one-time payment. The student is eligible for the scholarship until graduation as long as he/she maintains high academic standards. NSF funds these scholarships by raising donations in the US. The local chapters located in various states in India do the commendable job of advertising to invite applications from students, screening these applications and selecting the most needy group of students who eventually become NSF scholarship recipients. Scholarship amounts range from INR 5,000 to INR 12,000 per student year.

Before 2010 there were 10 active chapters in the following cities: Bangalore, Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Hyderabad, Jodhpur, Kochi, Kolkata, Madurai, Nagercoil and Pune. In 2010 6 new chapters were started in Chandigarh, Patna, Moradbad, Guwahati, Patiala and Udaipur. You can volunteer to help start a new chapter anywhere in India.
