AVAM-ASTU FOUNDATION Company Profile, Contacts & Intelligence

AVAM-ASTU FOUNDATION Overview

The objective of the Avam-Astu Foundation (AAF) is to promote holistic growth in high-school students through enrichment programs, enabling student success in academic and extracurricular pursuits. AAF is in memory of Rajiv Suresh, the older son of the Suresh family. Rajiv passed away, unexpectedly, at the age of 26, and in this short span, accomplished almost anything that he set his mind to. The impetus for his high-energy was the discipline, time-management, team-spirit and leadership qualities that were imbued by marching band. Caitlin Zaloom (New York Times, August 30, 2019) summarizes a key research finding from her study as follows: “For those with middle-class jobs, saving enough for college would mean compromising on the sort of activities — music education, travel, sports teams, tutoring — that enrich their children’s lives, keep them in step with their peers, deliver critical lessons in self-discipline and teach social skills. The paradox is that enrolling children in the programs that prepare them for college and middle-class life means draining the bank accounts that would otherwise fund higher education.” AAF’s flagship “High-school Marching Band Scholarship” program is targeted to fill this need. Students’ families can save for college education and AAF shall assist students to excel in music, mind-and-body fitness, leadership, and identify and explore their passions.
