Our Story
Founded in 1993 by Dr. P. Ravi Sharma, the India-American Cultural Association Inc. (IACA) established the Indian American Scholarship Fund (IASF) to support high school students in Georgia pursuing higher education. Initially, the fund awarded $1,500 in scholarships to two deserving students. Over the years, the program has significantly expanded, now providing between $25,000 and $30,000 annually to 12-15 students in financial need, while also recognizing their academic and extracurricular achievements. Under the leadership of dedicated individuals like Dr. Suvrat Bhargave and Dr. Anuj Manocha, the IASF continues to thrive, impacting the lives of many young scholars.
