The Ayaan Foundation, a registered non-governmental organization (NGO) under section 10 of the Tamilnadu Societies Registration Act, 1975, and certified under section 12AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961, with ISO certification, is dedicated to recognizing academic excellence among students from economically challenged sections of society. The primary objective of the Foundation is to support students' dreams and aspirations by providing scholarships to Government Higher Secondary students for their graduation based on a clearly defined selection criteria.
The selection process for the Ayaan Scholarship includes a comprehensive approach to ensure deserving students are chosen. The process begins with district-wise school visits for life skill training programs, during which a one-hour session is conducted for students in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. During these sessions, an introduction to the Foundation and the scholarship scheme is provided, and interested students submit their applications on the same day. Additionally, students have the option to apply online, via email, or by post, with references from their Headmasters (HM).
