Scholarships

For most people, finishing school is a choice. But for some, it is a dream – one that is, at times, unrealized.

Among the missions of the Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation is, “To ensure that all children who gain access to excellent education finish their studies by addressing the hindrances preventing them from going to school.”

We are committed to ensuring that every child in the Philippines can experience quality education so they can move closer, little by little, to the future that they dream for themselves and their families.

But children can’t finish if their families have no livelihood to sustain their studies. That is why we conduct livelihood programs to teach families how to earn a living to support the children’s journey towards an educated future. And although education is free, there are other school-related expenses (allowance, meals, transportation, projects, books, writing materials) that these parents need to provide. At times, these extra expenses are not addressed resulting in children dropping out of school.

We don’t want to see the hard work of parents and children go to waste.

For this reason, we grant scholarships to students of our communities to complement the efforts of the parents, and to make sure that kids can continue their studies until they graduate.

With the help of our compassionate Hope Paddlers, volunteers, and generous partners and sponsors, we have progressed towards making our mission possible. However, we also know that there is still a long way ahead of us.

Come and help us send more kids to school.
