A Chance to Light the Way

"I beg you to see my son—not as a name on a form or a figure that adds up incorrectly. See him as I do: a flame flickering fiercely against a storm. Grant us this scholarship, not out of pity, but for the promise he holds.”

This mother’s plea, in tears to us, expands to explain her son is currently struggling to flourish in traditional public schools. As a recently displaced Burmese family who has just recently settled in our community as refugees her son has been struggling to understand the difference between cultures and missing his Islamic identity.

Currently bound by rules, by budgets stretched thin and a list of applicants growing, each with a story echoing a struggle of their own. This rejection was spoken with a heavy heart—a "no" that throbbed loudly in this mother’s ears. Her pleas, her hopes, were met with apologies that draped over her shoulders like another burden to bear.

We understand the power of education is transformative particularly for those who are entrusted with little more than their dreams.

We are seeking sponsorships for five resilient Burmese students—students who are eager to learn, to grow, and to give back to the community that cradles them.

Your Sponsorship: A Year of Possibilities

$8,150 = 1 Full year of tuition. This means you can sponsor one student for an entire year.

This includes comprehensive support:

• Dormitory and Board: A safe place to rest, study, thrive and be in the company of like-minded students to support each other and help with their studies.  

• Nutritious Food and Drinks: We provide our students with 3 nutritious hot meals a day and 2-3 healthy snacks 7 days a week. We believe providing nutrition is essential sustenance for developing minds.

• Educational Expenses and Supplies: From textbooks to technology, everything a student needs to excel is provided to a student attending our institution.  

• A Culture of Philanthropy: Our curriculum includes community service, imbuing students with the value of giving.

Your contribution not only fuels academic journeys but also intertwines them with lessons in humanity and altruism through our mandatory community service initiatives.
