The John Bissell Scholars Fund (JBSF) was established in 2001 in memory of John Bissell, the visionary founder of Fabindia and one of the Fabindia School founders. Its purpose is to provide scholarships for financially needy students at The Fabindia School in Bali, Rajasthan. JBSF has also raised money for an endowment to ensure the longevity and continued expansion of the school, with an emphasis on strong female enrollment. In addition, generous supporters have helped to fund new buildings, a new computer center and a new science lab.
