SCHOLARSHIPS

Farrukh Foundation Scholarship

Education is the key that unlocks a brighter future, and at the Farrukh Foundation, we believe every child deserves to hold that key. Our story began with a remarkable journey by four siblings – Humzah, Qasim, Umiemah, and Omar. Raised in Vancouver, Canada, their dream of a top-tier education led them on a 1300-mile trek to Los Angeles, setting their sights on UCLA. Through sheer dedication, all four siblings transferred from a community college and secured their spots at this prestigious university at the same time.

Witnessing the transformative power of education firsthand, the siblings felt a responsibility to create opportunities for others. This collective passion fueled the birth of the Farrukh Foundation. Our inaugural project in Pakistan solidified our core mission: building schools and ensuring educational equity for children around the world.

The Farrukh Foundation aims to support first-generation students who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership potential, and a commitment to community service.
