We are proud to share Meena's journey as a success story, inspiring others to dream big and reach for the stars.
Meena completed school at the Presidency Girls’ Higher Secondary School in Egmore, scoring 1092 out of 1200 (91%) and standing 3rd in her school. She had participated in many extracurricular activities like science quiz competitions, drawing, and sports. Her home is filled with the prizes she has won.
Her father works for a transport company as an assistant. Her mother is a homemaker. Hailing from a modest background, Meena faced financial hurdles that threatened to derail her dream of pursuing higher education. While family support was limited, the support of the STF proved to be a crucial turning point. By providing the necessary financial support, STF enabled Meena to realize her dream of completing her engineering degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) from Meenakshi Sundararajan Engineering College.
Meena had an incredible career after graduating, landing jobs at renowned firms like Accenture, Infosys, and Cognizant. Meena’s current job at Pfizer as a senior associate is evidence of her perseverance and hard work. Meena can support her entire family now that she has a secure job. She assisted her younger sister in finishing college, and she is currently employed at TNQ Technologies as a quality controller.
She thanks STF for all the support provided to her.
Meena’s story is proof of the transformative power of education and the impact of STF, which not only changes lives but also strengthens communities.
“STF has been a blessing in my life for many years and nothing would have been possible without their support. It was on my wish list for a long time to give back to STF. Today, I’m happy to have fulfilled that wish by taking part in the Community Outreach Programs and would like to do the same in the upcoming years & I will continue to show my gratitude in whatever way I can!”

We are proud to share Tamil Selvan's journey as a success story, inspiring others to dream big and reach for the stars.
I, Tamil Selvan completed my schooling at Daniel Thomas Matriculation Higher Secondary School at Arumbakkam. I excelled academically, scoring top marks in both Class 10 and Class 12. I was the only son to my parents. My mother was a homemaker, and my father worked as a car driver and was the family’s sole provider, therefore he was hesitant to support me in continuing my education because of the financial burden it would entail.
My father was eventually persuaded to change his mind about my pursuing higher education by my persistent drive and desire. I started attempting to seek out financial assistance from my father’s acquaintances and family, but I was unsuccessful.
When I got help from the STF, my journey changed drastically. In addition to relieving my financial concerns, this support allowed me to devote all of my attention to my academics, and I went on to obtain a bachelor’s degree in geo-informatics at Anna University in Chennai. Immediately after graduation in the year 2020, I got a job at LTI Mindtree Pvt. Ltd. as Sr. Software Engineer.
“I was always confident that I would break the cycle of poverty of my family,” I said, looking back on my path. The STF scholarship took away my worries about money and gave me the certainty I needed. STF’s resolute assistance enabled me to finish my studies. and secure a job. Furthermore, I am pleased to report that I have successfully paid off all of my parents’ debts, relieving them of a substantial financial load. I am incredibly appreciative of the chances that the STF scholarship has given me. I can now support my family and my parents as they approach retirement
