Thank you.
Scholars for All officially closed on March 18, 2026. What follows is our final statement — a record of gratitude, and a reflection on what we set out to do.
The work is complete.
On March 7, 2026, Scholars for All crossed $2,000 in total funds raised — every dollar from individual tutoring sessions, every cent donated to charitable causes. Eleven days later, on March 18, we concluded operations.
The decision to close was made because the initiative had reached the goal we set for ourselves, and because we wanted to end with the work complete rather than let it fade. Additionally, the tutors were all students with their own academic and extracurricular responsibilities, and it felt like the right time to wrap up.
This page is the final public record of Scholars for All.
To everyone who was part of this.
The initiative was, in every meaningful sense, a group effort.
To our students
You trusted us with two very important things: your time and your education. That trust was not something we took lightly. Every session was prepared and conducted with the understanding that your learning mattered, and that you deserved the same quality of support that students with larger resources receive. Thank you for showing up and for making this worth doing.
To the parents and families
You made it possible for your students to participate. Whether you found us through a recommendation or your own research, your gut told you to engage with something student-run, and you trusted it. Your support and trust in what we were building was essential to every milestone we reached.
To the tutors
So many people joined this initiative without compensation, without institutional backing, and without any guarantee it would amount to anything. Genuinely, thank you. You are what made this possible. Without your consistency and dedication, none of this would have been possible.
To everyone else who supported us
Word of mouth is the only way a student-run tutoring initiative grows. Every recommendation, mention to a parent, or message to a friend struggling in class helped to build this. We built a reputation, earned one session at a time, passed from person to person. Thank you for passing it on.
Scholars for All, by the numbers.
What comes next.
Scholars for All will likely not reopen. The initiative was built to solve a specific problem, and we made significant progress towards that goal. A personal message from Ayan to anyone who wants to pursue their passions: "If you have an idea for something you want to build, just start it. You don't need permission, you don't need a guarantee of success, and you don't need to know how to do everything. You just need to care about the work, and be willing to learn as you go. The rest will follow."
The tutors are now pursuing their own academic and professional paths. This chapter closed on March 18, but the conviction behind it does not close with it.
If this initiative demonstrated one thing, it’s that willingness to act on a clear belief can build something that matters. The gap in accessible tutoring is real. The need is real. The work continues all over, in different forms, wherever people choose to take it up.
Scholars for All
