North South Foundation (NorthSouth) encourages excellence in education among children in the US and Canada by conducting educational contests. North South Foundation also encourages excellence in education among the poor in India by providing college scholarships. North South Foundation believes that every child can excel given an opportunity.

A contest provides an incentive and a goal to work towards within a specific time-frame. Second, a child needs to learn to accept failure, just like in any sport. Both success and failure are an integral part of life. Failure gives an opportunity to learn from mistakes and do better next time. Even Thomas Edison had more failures than successes. In reality, the real contest is whether a child is improving over time or not. For example, even if a child learns one word a day, that is 365 words in a year.

In general, the contests are open to all children of the Indian-American community in grades 1 through 12, residing in the US or Canada. You should consult the section on contest specific rules, which apply to the contest you are interested in. The North South Foundation contests are conducted as a community event among the Indian-American families. They are all run by volunteers without any compensation. Because of the limited resources, the contests are limited to catering to the special needs of the NRI community.
