Foundation for Excellence – Scholarships for bright students with financial constraints

Scholarships
From the Beginning The Foundation for Excellence was founded in 1994. After selling his first company, Prabhu Goel and his wife Poonam Goel decided to use part of the proceeds to build a philanthropic foundation to provide scholarships to bright students with financial constraints for college degrees.

Here's why! First, this approach will provide you a greater chance of success in getting into at least one, but possibly 2 or more, programs that offer you full funding. Having several offers on the table gives you more negotiating power for a greater funding package and also acceptance off waitlists.  Also, it's important not to put all your eggs in one basket. This is because many factors can change over the course of the year after you apply -  factors that will be out of your control - like pandemics, cuts to program funding, the need to diversify…
