Scholarships and Sponsorship Opportunities

Reading to students in Samoa

“Education is the Key to Opportunity”

“Education is the Key to Success”

In Samoa school expenses include tuition, uniforms, books, supplies, transportation, and lunch.  Many families struggle to provide food for their families, let alone the cost of education.  Students are seen working at home, on the plantations, fishing boats, or selling goods during school hours.  Students whose parents can’t afford the cost of education are left with little hope for their future and the cycle of poverty is perpetuated.  The scholarships/sponsorships are designed to Create Opportunity for children who want to continue their education. 

 All children deserve the opportunity to be educated.

It costs only $125.00 USD to pay for a full year of tuition, fees, a uniform, and a student kit.
