What Can Scholarships Be Used Towards?

Why Do We Provide Scholarships?
Research indicates that engagement in extracurricular activities, after-school programs, and youth organizations fosters positive development across academic, social, civic, and physical domains among students. Participation is driven by enthusiasm, enjoyment, and the desire for peer companionship. However, financial constraints hinder some students and families from accessing these opportunities. Extensive evidence underscores the correlation between involvement in such activities and improved academic performance, higher rates of school completion, increased likelihood of pursuing further education, reduced instances of substance use, and enhanced parent-child interactions. (Society for Research and Child Development, 2006; Developmental Psychology, 2008; BMC Public Health, 2015).
