Education Aid program aims at changing the lives of students and graduates who are OVCS around the country and Rwenzori region in particular by providing them with the financial support they need to obtain to start and complete their education. This is accomplished by alleviating their financial burdens and debt obligations through two Support Programs; the Support a Student Scholarship Program and the Student Loan Assistance Program. Many disadvantaged students do not have the financial resources to pay for non-tuition related expenses and ultimately end up dropping out of school. After school, many graduates cannot afford to make their student loan payments and are forced to go into default. Education Aid’s Support Programs identify these individuals, and provide them with the financial support they need to complete their degrees and reduce their risk of default.
