Every educational journey begins with an opportunity. For 60 students, the academic year 2026 marks the beginning of a new chapter through the Yaan Foundation Scholarship Programme.

This year, 60 new students have joined the Yaan Scholarship Programme, taking their first steps towards higher education with the support of Yaan Foundation. Among them, 27 students belong to Tribal communities, while the others are from Sri Lankan Tamil refugee families. This reflects our continued commitment to extending higher education opportunities to students from underserved communities and helping them build a better future.

Beyond Scholarships: Supporting Every Step of the Journey

At Yaan Foundation, we believe that providing access to higher education is only the first step towards a student's success. Equally important is ensuring that every student receives the encouragement, guidance and support needed to make the most of this opportunity.

Our approach goes beyond financial assistance. We aim to create an environment where students feel supported, motivated and confident in pursuing their aspirations. By staying connected with our scholars and understanding their individual needs, we strive to make their educational journey more meaningful.

As part of this commitment, we are encouraging a structured mentoring approach across our associated colleges. Dedicated mentors will help students navigate academic challenges, recognise their strengths and make informed decisions about their future. We also aim to strengthen the connection between students, colleges and the Foundation through continued interaction and guidance.

Looking Ahead

For these 60 students, this is just the beginning. We hope they make the most of the opportunities available to them, discover their potential, achieve their aspirations and build meaningful careers.

At Yaan Foundation, we see every scholarship as an investment in a student's potential and future. Our commitment is to stand alongside them throughout their journey, helping them turn opportunities into achievements and aspirations into reality.
