A $3000 scholarship supports an Akilah student’s classroom instruction, lunch (often their only meal of the day), after-school tutoring, field trips and transportation for an entire school year. If you are unable to pledge the full amount, please consider giving a percentage. All scholarship donors of $1000 or more will receive a monthly student profile and have the opportunity to correspond directly with students.
Testimonials
"1994 will forever remain imprinted in my memory. We need to educate our new generation about what happened even as we forge ahead with nation building. Yes, I must say that it is difficult, but somehow one must gather the strength to carry on with the mission I seek for a better life ahead."Noella Abijuru
