What Is The Age Range Of The Students Who Receive Scholarships?
A4: Students range in age from four to nineteen. Many of the children in our program are much older than many of their classmates, and there are a number of reasons for this. Some of these students started primary school at age seven, but after several years of study had to drop out to work to help support their families. The scholarships enable them to return to school and pick up where they left off. Many other students fell behind after failing grades before joining the program. Without any remedial help available in the schools, and with the majority of parents lacking a sufficient level of education to help them with homework, many kids were unable to pass their grades. As part of the after school program, these students receive the individual attention they need and are able to achieve academic success.
