Connect To Learn Awards Full Scholarships to Students in Ghana & Tanzania

It is with great excitement that Connect To Learn introduces our first scholarship recipients, who live in Ghana and Tanzania. Each of the students – 18 in Ghana and 19 in Tanzania – will attend a local senior secondary school and have the opportunity to work with their teachers to access a 21st century education provided by broadband connectivity that will connect them to a window on the world and its vast informational resources.

Our scholars were selected from hundreds of applicants by a committee that included community members, local school administrators, leadership from the Millennium Villages Project in Ghana and Tanzania, and by representatives from Connect To Learn.

These students live in some of the most poverty-stricken areas of the world, often coming from larger families, some without one or both parents, and have demonstrated an extreme commitment to their education. Without financial support, these students would otherwise not have been able to afford an education.

By working hard and earning good grades, these girls and boys will have access to a full secondary education that will give them the tools to succeed in life. I encourage you to visit our Scholars page to learn more about the hard-working and impressive students selected for this year’s scholarships.

Congratulations to Connect To Learn’s first scholarship recipients!
