We would like to pass on our heart felt thank you to everyone who contributed towards the various NSNA Education funds for the year 2008. This year we were able to provide scholar-ship to 427 very deserving and needy students and this would not have been possible without the help from each and every one of you.

We would specially like to thank Mrs & Mr. UN Alagappan, Arun Alagappan & Family, Vairam Alagappan & Family & Visalakshi Alagappan Foundation for their generous contribu-tion of $25,000 towards Mrs. Visalakshi Alagappan Education Scholarship fund. This helped NSNA to provide scholar-ship to 250 needy and deserving students for the year 2008.

We had received over 600 postal applications for the year 2008 of which we had been able to provide scholar-ships for 427 students. Apart from the snail mail apps, we also received over 750 email communications for the past year. A special mention has to be made about all the members of the Educational Committee, who poured their valuable time and effort in processing all the applications and made this task look so easy and fun.
