Holistic Scholarships
The main way we break the chains of poverty is through holistic scholarships, which cost $3,210 per scholar per year on average. A holistic scholarship covers all of the following:
BASE SCHOLARSHIP $1,470 (46%)
The academic costs for the scholar, including school tuition, tutoring, uniforms, school supplies, transportation, and exam costs.
PARTNERSHIP SUPPORT $750 (23%)
The expenses for our international teams and mentors.
PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION $250 (8%)
Everything it takes to run all of our programming abroad, such as transportation and training.
STUDENT SUPPORT $201 (6%)
Student enrichment programs, including leadership development and spiritual formation, as well as internet access for students so they can complete classes at home.
FAMILY LIFE CENTERS $129 (4%)
Maintaining our family life centers, which serve as safe spaces for our scholars, offices for our teams, and a space for workshops, clubs, sports, and community programming.
HEALTH & WELLNESS $408 (13%)
Nutritious food, clean water, mental health counseling, and emergency medical needs for our scholars and their families.
We know that these scholarships are worth the investment because of the incredible graduates that come out of our program. Our scholars also have, on average: higher country-wide exam scores than their peers (and significantly higher than their peers in their communities), higher employment rates than their peers, and more than triple the wealth of their parents.
Safe Water & Safe Spaces
In communities that struggle with sanitation and violent neighborhoods, we prioritize bringing clean water and a safe meeting place to each community. We’ve seen these two things transform communities, improve the overall standard of living, and bring communities closer together in ways we’d never imagined.
