For many years, the Taarana Scholarship, established by RYTHM Foundation, has helped children and families access Taarana's specialised educational programmes and inclusive learning environment. We are deeply grateful to every child, parent, and caregiver who has been part of this journey. Your trust and partnership have been at the heart of this programme. After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue the Taarana Scholarship programme, effective 1 January 2027. We understand that this news may be disappointing, and we want to reassure all scholarship recipients that all approved scholarship support will continue without interruption until 31 December 2026, in accordance with the agreed scholarship terms. This decision applies only to the scholarship programme. Taarana will continue to provide its specialised educational services and remain committed to supporting children and families through its inclusive learning environment. If you have any questions or would like to discuss how this change may affect you or your child, please do not hesitate to contact the Taarana team. We are here to support you and will do our best to assist during this transition. Thank you for being part of the Taarana community and for allowing us to be part of your family's journey. Yours sincerely, RYTHM Foundation (Yayasan Vijayaratnam)
