Nalvinai Education Trust was started in 2020 in memory of our father Palani Kanniappan (1958-2020). He insisted so much that education is the key to success. He made us reach new heights in life by providing us the gift of education and encouragement. He enjoyed helping others, especially for the students to pursue their studies. We have set up this trust to continue his goodwill to help the students for their education.
Our mission is to provide financial support and career guidance for the college education of financially disadvantaged and academically outstanding students. We grew up with a foundational belief that education is power. We also believe that there are enough people who are blessed with the goodwill, time and money to help every student who needs support. In the long term, our vision is to create a community by connecting such volunteers with the students who need help.
Every year, we hope to be able to help a few students to pay their college fees, and to provide career guidance for those who need it. Students can apply online via this website. The selection will be based on the student’s merit and the financial situation of their family. For now, we are focusing only on college education in Tamilnadu, India. If you are a college student or higher secondary student and if you are from a low-income family, you can apply for the college scholarship here.
We need volunteers who can help us in the selection of eligible students and in mentoring the students. You can sign up to either join us as a volunteer or to receive email updates about our work.
In the long term, we will also need donors who can financially contribute to the trust. We are still in the process of legally registering this trust. We will open up for donations after that. We will also post updates on this website along with transparent accounting details. We hope to provide sufficient details about the impact your time and donations make, and inspire others to join the community.
