​In Haiti, access to education is very limited. Haiti is a poor country where most of the schools are private, and the few public schools are very poor quality. Only the most affluent parents can afford a good education for their children. At HVF we provide a scholarship program covering tuition, uniform, books and supplies to assist children whose parents cannot afford to send them to school.
 
Tuition for a student in primary and secondary school is around $600 per year.  A year of college costs at least $1,700, which is why less than 10% of high school graduates go to college. For comparison, the average Haitian’s annual income is $350.
​Please help us keep these students in school. 
$600 a year or $50 per month pays for: 
• School tuition for the entire year 
• A student’s school books 
• A school uniform for the entire school year.

The HVF is committed to providing the potential to succeed academically and who would not be able to go to school without a scholarship. Instead of giving money to their parents, we pay their tuition directly to their school. We also buy their books and make sure they get their school uniform so they can start the academic year on time—although Haitian schools start in September each year, many students miss the first month of classes because they do not have a uniform.

The students (or students’ parents) are required to send to HVF a copy of their report cards after each exam period, so we can see how they are doing. If some of our students are not doing well, we try to identify the reason and try to solve the problem so they can be successful.

We believe education is where we have to start if we really want to change the situation of Haitian citizens. By helping these students to get the education they deserve, we are also providing them the chance to be successful—and to help Haiti grow.

Currently, HVF scholarships are supporting 15 primary and secondary school students and 5 college students. We will continue to support these students until they graduate from college. Our  goal is to support approximately 100 students in and around Dondon. We completely rely on your support to be able to find resources to expand this program.
