Simply put, we believe that education provides a
path to a better future; and that the best way to help
impoverished communities is by preparing young leaders
with the skills and commitment to foster lasting change.
Thanks to the generous scholarship support provided
by committed donors around the world, since 1990 we
have been able to make the dream of a college education
come true for hundreds of young men and women
from disadvantaged rural communities who otherwise
would never have received a higher education.
Additionally, the newly created
EARTH Opportunity
Scholarship Fund
ensures that the very best candidates
can attend EARTH—regardless of their gender,
origin, and nationality—and acquire the skills to fulfill
their dreams of a better future for their families and
communities. In addition to contributions at any level
to the Scholarship Fund,
Scholarship Endowments
may
be established to provide full support for a student or
students in perpetuity. Expertly invested and managed,
an EARTH Scholarship Endowment can be funded
with a significant contribution today or be a legacy gift
created through your estate plans. In these ways, you
can positively impact students and their communities
for generations to come.
An extra hand in
time of need
Recognizing that many of
our students come from the
humblest of backgrounds,
EARTH recently established
the Solidarity Fund. This
fund helps cover unexpected
expenses, such as health
insurance copayments, new
glasses and emergency travel.
“
When they called me to say that I had
been admitted with a full scholarship, it was
overwhelming. To tell you the truth, it was
impossible not to cry from joy.”

Empowering a young
person is perhaps the
greatest investment we
can make in our future.
