Ignite: Educate A Child Scholarships

Donors can directly influence a child's life through OPEN's Ignite Scholarship program, which provides scholarships for needy children for school, vocational diploma, and college education. OPEN typically funds up to $400 annually for students in college. Students with fees in excess of this amount are expected to raise monies from other sources.

Contributions are suggested at one of the three levels below. They are also welcome at any amount the donor sees fit.

        • $50: full annual school fees and supplies for a Kindergarten-12th Grade school student.
        • $100: partial scholarship towards annual fees and supplies for a student in a B.Sc./B.Com./B.E. or Vocational training program; or partial scholarship towards boarding, lodging, and annual fees and supplies for a K-12 student in a school residential program.
        • $200 toward partial scholarship for a student in a B.Sc./B.Com./B.E. or a Vocational training program; or full scholarship towards boarding, lodging, and annual fees and supplies for a K-12 student in a school residential program.
