Professor Jagdish Sharan Rustagi retired as the chairman of statistics department at Ohio State University. He was passionate about teaching and has written several books on statistics. Through his teaching, he has touched the lives of many people across the world. He started an elementary school in his birth village of Sikri, Uttar Pradesh in the name of his father Chhote Lal and a lecture series for the statistics department at Ohio State University. We would like to keep alive his desire to bring education to the poor by urging you to donate to the scholarship fund at Foundation For Excellence where every single dollar goes directly toward the education of a poor student in India. 
Please do not send any flowers, instead please donate to the scholarship fund at FFE or a charity of your choice.

Foundation for Excellence

As one of the largest scholarship programs in India, the Foundation for Excellence (FFE) is a registered 501(c) 3 non-profit organization based out of California and dedicated to supporting higher education for brilliant, deserving yet underprivileged students across India. FFE has been pursuing this noble cause for close to two decades and is also a unique non-profit in many ways. Every cent of every donation to FFE goes towards scholarships in its entirety, as we cover our operational costs separately. We also follow a very careful selection process to ensure we are reaching out to the brightest and most deserving students. In return, our scholars pledge to contribute back to the FFE family taking our cause even further.
