VRFA Education Scholarship:
VRFA Education Scholarship Program: VRFA aims to provide educational scholarships for all martyr children in Karnataka. The aim is to eventually support martyr children across India.

The following is the process of the scholarship:
** A fixed deposit of Rs.30, 000/- is created in the name of the child with a lien in favour of Vasantharatna Foundation for Art.
** The lien is to ensure that funds are not utilised for any purpose other than education.
** At the end of each year the foundation directs the bank to send the school-fees directly to the school from the interest accrued thereon.
** When the child attains 18 years of age, the initial amount of Rs.30, 000/- is given to the child as a lump sum
** All contributions are entitled to Income Tax exemption under Section 80G.
