Sponsor a Scholar
For $2,500 you can support a scholar for one year including the cost of tuition, books, academic and leadership support.
Donors will be matched with a scholar and receive two updates a year on their academic and community service work and have the opportunity to name the scholarship in honor of a loved one.
If you commit to a scholar’s entire education, you will have the opportunity to get video updates from sponsee, the option for a one-on-one Zoom call, and annual updates after they graduate.
Education is the cornerstone of eradicating poverty and fostering sustainable community-led social change and too many talented and promising students across the developing world do not have access to higher education because of a lack of funds.
When all people have opportunities, we all benefit by living in a safer, healthier and more just world. You have the opportunity to help talented and deserving students achieve their dreams.
Your contribution of any amount will make a difference. Because we are a small organization with such a global reach, community support is fundamental to our success. All donations are tax deductible.
Thank You!

Thanks very much WMI, I'm very happy and grateful to be part of this family.
WMI’s commitment to empowering young leaders is truly remarkable! As a 2025 scholarship applicant, I am excited about the possibility of joining this inspiring network of changemakers.

The work WMI does is outstanding and amazing always
Today we would like to honor the work of our amazing Global Advisory Board team! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This scholar-led board was created in 2019 and since then has worked to create a more inclusive scholar community through webinars, professional workshops, and the scholar mentorship program, launched in 2024. Thanks to their dedication, 92 scholars are beneficiaries of the Scholar Mentorship Program, which has helped our scholar community cultivate the spirit of giving back to their communities. This is one of the many ways we engage our alumni to ensure we preserve the positive energy of giving back.
Now we want to hear from you! What are the different ways that you serve others?
As a scholar, if you have interacted with any previous/current member of the Global Advisory Board, please give them a shout out in the comments! Current members can be found here: www.wellsmountaininitiative.org/meet-our-team/,
Thanks to all the scholars who are currently serving or served as Global Advisiory Board members for your time, energy, and heart! #WMIImpact #communitydevelopment #alumniengagement #WellsMountainInitiative #scholarshipapplication

I have been trying to apply but I reached a point of uploading schooling grades but it doesn't showing me any progress
Great job. However, I'm trying to apply for your scholarship but it's to create a portal. So can someone help me.
Reviewing applications is always very rewarding and enlightening !
