Education

Why Education?

Sachin's friends said that he mentored and coached them to stay with their major, aerospace engineering, and tutored them to be successful. His passion for architecture was very well known among his friends and family. He inspired others to tutor and mentor students younger than them. Our Foundation will continue this legacy by offering scholarships and mentoring or tutoring programs to the youth.
