Future student support
Beyond Village Scholars Program
The Beyond Village Scholars Program is being developed as a future pathway for learning resources, mentorship, encouragement, and scholarship support.
Support that feels personal and practical
The aim is not only to provide financial help, but to surround students with guidance, confidence, and access to learning opportunities.
Who it is for
Students ages 10-18 from rural or underserved backgrounds who show motivation, curiosity, responsibility, and a need for support.
Eligibility
A transparent student-first approach
Final eligibility criteria will be shared when the initiative is ready to accept applications.
Student background
Rural or underserved students between ages 10-18 who face financial, exposure, or guidance barriers.
Commitment to learning
Students who demonstrate sincere effort, curiosity, attendance, and willingness to participate in mentorship.
Need and potential
Selection will consider both financial need and the student's ability to benefit from steady support.
Application process
How applications will work
Applications are currently planned as the foundation develops school partnerships, donor support, and review systems.
1. School or community nomination
Students may be identified through partner schools, teachers, community leaders, or open interest forms.
2. Student application
Applicants share basic details, goals, needs, and the type of support that would help them continue learning.
3. Review and conversation
A review team evaluates need, motivation, and fit, followed by a student or guardian conversation where needed.
4. Support and mentorship
Selected scholars receive support along with mentorship check-ins and growth opportunities.

Digital Access
Support for responsible technology use, digital learning tools, and safe online exploration.
