The San Ramon Valley Education Foundation Announces the 2025-2026 Neel Somani Young Innovators Scholarship
The San Ramon Valley Education Foundation (SRVEF) is proud to announce a powerful new initiative designed to fuel this spirit of discovery: the 2025-2026 Neel Somani Young Innovators Scholarship.
This scholarship represents more than financial support; it is a call to action for high school seniors across the San Ramon Valley Unified School District (SRVUSD) who are ready to leverage technology and entrepreneurship to create meaningful change.
Empowering the Next Generation of Visionaries
Made possible through the generosity of SRVUSD alumnus Neel Somani, this new annual award is dedicated to recognizing students who demonstrate a genuine passion for innovation. The scholarship seeks to identify young leaders who are not content with the status quo, students who think boldly, build ambitiously, and lead with purpose.
The initiative aligns with a broader educational philosophy: that the creative application of technical skills to real-world challenges is essential for societal progress. By supporting students who aim to use technology to inspire their communities, the Neel Somani Young Innovators Scholarship invests directly in the architects of tomorrow.
