The Americas Chamber of Commerce announced today the largest single expansion of its Children's Education scholarship program since its founding. Beginning this fall, 4,000 additional students in 60 school districts will receive full scholarships covering fees, uniforms, books, and daily meals.
The expansion is made possible by a matching commitment from regional education ministries and a coalition of private donors. Every participating district was selected using enrollment and dropout data gathered with local school boards, ensuring funds reach the communities where a scholarship changes a child's trajectory most.
Parent councils in each district will help administer the program, continuing our practice of placing local families at the center of every decision. Applications open in August through partner schools, and the first cohort begins classes in September.
