At FHI, we believe every child deserves the chance to learn, dream, and achieve their fullest potential. Unfortunately, many girls are forced to drop out of school because of financial barriers. The FHI Scholarship & Tuition Aid program was created to change that story.

Why it Matters
For many girls and young women, lack of opportunity leads to vulnerability and dependence. The apprenticeship program equips them with the tools to break that cycle—helping them earn an income, support their families, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
