Scholarships

Donate to PeaceTrees During GiveBIG and Help Fund Scholarships in central Vietnam! 

Many families in Quảng Trị and Quảng Bình experience generational poverty rooted in the aftermath of war. Financial insecurity is even greater for families coping with explosive ordnance accidents, and children often quit schooling so they can help financially support their families. Without a proper education, children are limited in their future economic prospects, which further perpetuates a cycle of poverty. A donation of only $300 provides three primary school students scholarships for an entire academic year! 

Today, scholarships are awarded to female ethnic minority children, children impacted by an EO accident or living with a disability, and children experiencing financial hardships in both Quảng Trị and Quảng Bình. To date, PeaceTrees has awarded 3,628 scholarships to students from kindergarten through college! 

Access to education is a proven poverty reduction measure as it allows children to develop skills, hone their critical thinking abilities, and gain exposure to new ideas and opportunities. PeaceTrees’ scholarship program aims to ease the financial burden of sending a child to school, therefore increasing the likelihood that a child will receive the education required to gain financial stability. We hope you will donate to PeaceTrees during #GiveBIG to help support this life changing scholarship program!
