About Assam Foundation of North America – AKADAMICS SCHOLARSHIP

What is the purpose of the AFNA sponsored Kaushik Das Memorial College Scholarship (AKADAMICS)?

This is an initiative under the auspices of Assam Foundation of North America to award educational scholarships and mentoring to students who are financially deprived but have demonstrated promising academics. The scholarships are awarded to students pursuing postsecondary education. The objective is to encourage higher education among financially needy students and eventually making them capable of providing for their family.

Family income refers to the income after deductions for taxes or other purposes. Only direct family members will count towards the total family members.
