At the time of its founding, Ashoka University was envisioned as, and remains, the largest collective philanthropic effort in Indian education. Over the past 10+ years, more than 180 donors have joined forces, pooling their personal resources towards a shared mission and vision – ensuring access to quality education for all, regardless of an individual’s financial background. Our philosophy is to make world-class education affordable and accessible to all students irrespective of whatever background they come from and giving financial aid is a key component of carrying out this commitment.
