Students Assistance

Rushi Fund

Turning Struggles into Success Stories

We know that the process of education is about more than tuition. Students encounter personal, academic, and financial obstacles that can sidetrack their aspirations. Our student services and support programs are designed to provide educational help for students through holistic services that extend beyond scholarships, giving students the advice, and resources necessary to achieve success.

Whatever the need — assistance completing a college application, assistance navigating challenging transitions, or emergency financial help — we're here to guide each student through every step.

Why It Matters

“1 in 3 low-income students drop out due to non-academic barriers. Many struggle silently with stress, family responsibilities, or lack of basic resources. Our student assistance program fills in these crucial gaps with compassion and care.”

We can’t change the past for them, but together, we can create a better future.”

Real Impact, Real Stories

See how our student support program is transforming lives through mentorship, resources, and educational help for poor students.

"I had no idea where to start with college paperwork. I was assisted by the Student Assistance team in applying, accessing free resources, and even navigating what comes next. I finally feel like I belong on this path."

— Nikhil M., Program Participant

"Before finals, my family didn't have funds to purchase books or internet. The disparity was covered by a Rushi Fund grant. I passed, I graduated, and I'm now applying to nursing school."

— Priya S., Beneficiary

Ananya's Journey

A Story of Hope

"There was a point when I almost gave up. My family couldn’t support my dream of becoming a teacher, and I had no idea how to even apply for college. Then I found Rushi Fund. They paired me with a mentor, helped with my applications, and even supported me when my laptop broke during finals. Today, I’m pursuing my B.Ed and tutoring younger students in my community. I owe it all to this program."
