Help us
build the leaders
of tomorrow!
With the help of our donors, JWOC awards university scholarships to Cambodian students who have a desire to pursue further education.
With the average annual family income of $1,500, the reality faced by most students is that university is well beyond their financial reach. JWOC donors enable us to cover the full cost of tuition as well as textbooks to Cambodians in Siem Reap. Scholarship students are chosen based on a demonstrated desire to gain a higher education, their willingness to help their community, their past academic performance and current financial need.
Since its inception, over 200 students have graduated from JWOC’s Scholarship program.
These students have gone on to do amazing things, creating what we call the JWOC ‘ripple effect’; whereby one young person improves the lives of those around them.
We request that all scholarship sponsors commit to supporting their student for the full 4-years of the JWOC Scholarship Program.
JWOC Scholarships are much more than helping our students to overcome a significant financial barrier to further education – they provide an opportunity to gain valuable professional experience to shape the students’ career plans and aids them in getting jobs once they graduate, and develop the skills needed to be youth leaders that contribute to the sustainable development of Cambodia.
