Laptop Scholarship Project 2026
VI-SH Koranne Foundation distributed 23 HP Laptops in April/May 2026 to the High School Seniors entering college in the Fall session. We are extremely proud of these students who attended the SAFE Homeless Education Program of EGUSD. They overcame all odds and persevered. We want to thank all our donors, supporters & community partner-Rotary Club for helping us raise funds to award these scholarships so that the students could enter college with dignity. Our heartfelt thanks also go out to the performers & volunteers who made the 5th Mehfil-E-Ghazal fundraiser event held on 4/26/26 a humongous success this year. A huge shoutout to the staff at the SAFE Homeless Education staff at EGUSD for assisting the deserving students to apply. Thank you for helping the Koranne Foundation in awarding these scholarships.
