What does Educate the Nations do?

Educate the Nations is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that exists to increase and improve a child’s access to quality education in developing countries. We provide scholarships to students who are committed to education, yet pose the risk of staying in school due to financial limitations. We also support teachers with classroom resources to increase their students' learning potential. 

 

How do you select students?

Students are chosen for an academic scholarship based on their financial need. Scholarship recipients are students who are committed to education yet pose the risk of staying in school due to financial limitations. Financial limitations may include the death of a parent, loss of caregiver income, students from single-parent households, or other family hardships that cause the child to risk remaining in school.
