About HEALTHY SCHOLARS FOUNDATION

Healthy Scholars Foundation (founded 2013) runs school-centered health programs that use a STAR approach—Screening, Treatment, Awareness and Research—to remove health-related barriers to learning. The organization was founded by Samantha Madala and operates as a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) public charity that supports and partners with local providers in India to deliver school health screenings, basic treatment referrals, and awareness programs. Recent Form 990 filings show active financial activity and growing net assets: fiscal year 2023 revenue reported in the low hundreds of thousands and fiscal-year-end 2024 assets of approximately $1.33 million, reflecting grant support and retained resources for program partnerships. In the last several years the foundation has continued program activity abroad (notably in India), contributed to research collaborations on school health screening methodologies, and maintained public nonprofit filings and an online presence.

Notable achievements

Delivered large school-based health screening campaigns in India that reached thousands of students, identifying vision, hearing, thyroid and other conditions that impede learning.

Secured significant philanthropic support and multi-year grants which materially expanded program capacity and enabled scaling of screening and referral activities.

Peer-reviewed research contributions

Participated in research and program evaluations (including studies on smartphone-based eye screening and school health screening quality) that contributed to the evidence base for low-cost school health interventions.
