GES Scholarship Fund

Many of the graduates of Grace Emmanuel School have dreams to further their education, but few have the resources to do so. To continue investing in the futures of GES graduates, JiHM awards renewable scholarships to 2–3 graduates every year who best exemplify excellence in education and a desire to serve God, their community and country.


What do the scholarships cover?

Scholars receive tuition to the program of their choice, plus assistance with supplies and living expenses on a case by case basis. The estimated cost per year for one scholar for university is $4,500, and $2,600 for trade school.

Did you know?

  • Less than 1% of the population of Haiti holds a college degree.
  • The majority of Haitian students who attend college outside of Haiti rarely return to practice their skills in Haiti. More Haitian college graduates have left Haiti, per capita, than any other country in the world.

Meet the recipients

Due to unrest in Haiti, as well as an exam error for some members of the 2021 graduating class, recipients from both classes will be chosen in 2023.
