  Continuous programme

  NANF provides long-term mentorship and financial assistance to meritorious students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Support ordinarily begins in Class XI and continues, based on individual need and progress, until the completion of higher education.

  The programme goes beyond financial assistance. Students receive guidance on academic choices, higher-education opportunities, career planning and personal development throughout their educational journey.

  Three supported students have completed their education and are now employed in Public Sector Undertakings and government departments. Seven students are currently receiving ongoing mentorship and educational support.
