Overview

The fund is named after the late Mr. RVS. Mani and late Mr. RS Subramanian, father and father-in-law of Dr. Jayashree Sarathy, Founding Program Director of the MSIP program, and established in their honor. They both believed that providing support and education to students in need could help remove obstacles along their path to success.

Funds can be used to cover costs such as exam fees, application fees, standardized test preparation courses (MCAT, DAT, etc.), or travel expenses for professional and graduate school interviews. Applications will be accepted throughout the year until funds are available.
