Our work · Tuition scholarships
Ambition deserves
a chance.
Help a student’s hard work lead somewhere.
Habele helps families meet the cost of private elementary and high school tuition in the Federated States of Micronesia. Awards consider financial need and academic merit.
A shared commitment
Students do the work.
We help close the gap.
Tuition assistance brings donors, families, and schools together around a student’s education.
Families choose.
Families choose their child’s school and contribute toward the cost. Habele’s support helps lighten that burden.
Schools receive payment.
Scholarship payments go directly to the school. Awards generally cover part of tuition and fees.
Students stay accountable.
Scholars report their academic progress and apply each year for continued support. Renewal depends on performance and completed reporting.

Memorial scholarships
A life of service.
A student’s future.
Special designations within Habele’s scholarship program honor Americans and Micronesians whose lives showed lasting commitment to the islands. Their stories remain part of the work.
