Student Scholarship Ministry
The Pearl Foundation Scholarship Fund is a beacon of hope for underserved youth in Nicaragua. Our mission is to break the cycle of generational poverty by providing determined students with the opportunity to pursue higher education and vocational training. Through this scholarship, we empower young individuals to overcome barriers, unlock their potential, and build a brighter future for themselves and their communities. Equally as important is that we want them to know there's a GOD WHO LOVES them and wants them to be successful in life and live for Him.
The Challenges Youth Face
For many young people in Nicaragua, the path to success is filled with obstacles. Generational poverty traps families in a cycle of limited resources, where access to quality education remains out of reach. Opportunities for stable, well-paying jobs can be scarce, and without the means to advance their skills, youth often find themselves stuck in low-wage labor or unemployment.
A Pathway of Opportunity
We offer a lifeline to these determined students. We provide comprehensive support to help them attend college, university, or trade schools, opening doors to a wide range of fields such as nursing, law, business administration, electronics, cosmetology, construction, English language learning, and more. Whether they aspire to heal the sick, build infrastructure, or start their own businesses, we equip them with the tools to succeed.

Commitment to Excellence
Our scholars are more than just students—they are changemakers. To earn and maintain this scholarship, applicants must commit to attending classes diligently, adhering to a code of ethics, and striving for academic and personal success. They also provide regular updates on their progress, ensuring accountability and growth. Recipients must also give back by contributing service hours with The Pearl Foundation’s ministries.
Transforming Lives
The impact of this scholarship goes beyond the classroom. By covering tuition, school supplies, transportation, and other essential needs, we remove the financial burdens that often derail dreams. Our scholars graduate with the skills and confidence to secure meaningful careers, uplift their families, and inspire others in their communities. Each success story is a step toward breaking the chains of poverty in Nicaragua.
