HELP - Haitian Education & Leadership Program

HELP provides merit- and needs-based university scholarships for Haiti's top high school graduates from severely disadvantaged backgrounds in order to grow Haiti's professional class and build a more equitable society. HELP is at the forefront of the transition to the knowledge economy in the developing world. Because a nation's educated class builds economic and social stability, the world's poorest countries need large-scale increase in university enrollment to escape generations of poverty and actively participate in the new global economy. HELP is one of the only organizations building the new middle class in the developing world. HELP sponsors 150 university students in Haiti for the 2013-2014 academic year.
