Education Scholarship Program
The Grameen Foundation Educational Scholarship Program promotes education for rural, financially disadvantaged girls and boys in Bangladesh. Public education requires families to pay fees for books, tuition, school uniforms, and other expenses. The current cost of sending children to public schools in Bangladesh range from $1,000 to $1,200 per student over the five years. The scholarship program covers these fees so rural and poor children of microfinance borrowers can attend school and have a chance to break out of the cycle of poverty.More Information
