North Royalton City Schools is proud to recognize the Modi Family as the 2025–26 Friends of Education for their longstanding generosity and commitment to supporting student success.
Brothers Neelam Modi (Class of 1997) and Sharmil Modi (Class of 1995), along with their parents, Satish Modi and Tarlika Modi, have remained deeply connected to their alma mater, giving back in meaningful ways for more than a decade. In 2010, their family established the Modi Scholarship, creating opportunities for graduating seniors to pursue their educational goals beyond high school. Since its inception, the scholarship program has continued to grow, with the Modis contributing a total of $10,000 in scholarships each year to support North Royalton students.
Their dedication reflects a strong belief in the value of education and the importance of investing in future generations. North Royalton City Schools is grateful for the Modi family’s continued partnership and is honored to celebrate them as this year’s Friends of Education.
