"Not only has the scholarship been of great help financially,
but I feel much better prepared to face academic life after the Orientation Programme.
The Foundation incredibly invests in your future to help you attain success and
excellence and do everything they can to equip you for it- right from creating a
custom made Orientation Programme, to choosing a mentor that most reflects your
ambition in life. This has been an unforgettable experience and I really hope that
in future, I am able to give an NSF scholar what the Foundation has given me."

"I feel the NSF PG scholarship is the most distinguished
scholarship programme in place today. The networking, mentorship programme and a
family-like bonding not only with the scholars but also with the members of the
Foundation really made me feel that this scholarship is far more than the monetary
award."

"The Narotam Sekhsaria Foundation Scholarship is more
than just monetary assistance: this we found out in the two day Orientation Programme
that was held in Bombay. We learnt about ourselves, about one another, thought about
questions that should have been easy to answer but really took a lot of time and
energy to figure out ( One of the more difficult ones - "Who am I?"). Being given
an opportunity to mingle with Mr. Sekhsaria is just one instance in a weekend where
we were pampered beyond measure! The mentor program also extends the reach of the
program beyond just the orientation weekend. I thank the Narotam Sekhsaria Foundation
for this wonderful opportunity, for making us feel at home and for helping me follow
my dreams! I feel honored to be chosen as a Narotam Sekhsaria Scholar for the year
2012. Thank You!."

"The NSF scholarship program is unique. Apart from the
financial aid, they provide a mentor to each scholar. The orientation instilled
in me the core values of the Foundation. Integrity, humility and perseverance are
things I'll never forget. I am truly honoured to be a part of the NSF family. And
THANK-YOU for giving me this opportunity."

"It is truly an honor and a privilege to be selected as
an NSF Scholar. Apart from the financial assistance, the Foundation has made available
to us a fantastic support system of industry leaders, counsellors, and academicians.
I believe this will greatly help me in my endeavors going forward. I was extremely
impressed with the professionalism with which the entire process was conducted.
The 2 day workshop at the Trident, Mumbai was an icing on the cake. I look forward
to being closely associated with the Foundation and will strive to uphold the values
of the Foundation to the best of my abilities."

"What I really appreciated about the Foundation was that
they were willing to go the extra mile to prepare us for the experience of studying
abroad. As I leave for my course I am confident that I have a support system here
that I can always rely on."
