SANA Scholarship Programs
Fame Scholarship
SANA Dr. Feroz Ahmed Memorial Educational (FAME) Fund Scholarship Program was developed to provide merit/Income- based financial assistance to Sindhi students who are obtaining education in various universities and colleges in Sinch. In this way, SANA helps them to achieve their educational dreams.
Understanding the difficult times faced by most Sindhi families in providing higher education to their children, SANA awards every year several scholarships to meritorious students from low-income families residing in Sindh.
In 1998, paying tribute to the late Dr. Feroz Ahmed, a prominent Sindhi social scientist, and educationist, SANA established an educational fund, that is, Dr. Feroz Ahmed Memorial Educational Fund (FAME Fund).
Based on the donations received every year from SANA Community in North America, each year SANA awards scholarships to the most deserving Sindhi students.
