Scholarship Fund

When we meet children in Uganda they usually only have one request of us. You would think that they would ask for food or clothing or other personal needs. They don’t complain and they are grateful for their lives and their communities. However, they do ask for financial resources to allow them to go to school. Government sponsored education reaches through 7th grade. Any secondary school requires fees. Any further college or vocational training comes at a cost. Approximately $1,100 dollars per year will allow a teenager in Uganda to receive an education. This includes schooling, books, uniforms, room and board, as often children have to leave home and go to boarding school to obtain this next level of education.

Students selected to benefit from the Embrace Uganda Scholarship Fund have to submit an application and will be carefully selected. Their progress is monitored by our Ugandan partners. There is an expectation that these students will eventually give back to their communities.
