Education Changes Everything

Pals Sponsor a Student 3

Every young person deserves the chance to learn, grow, and choose their future safely. But across Vietnam, too many students face financial barriers that put education — and opportunity — out of reach.

 

Education is one of the strongest pathways to long-term stability and protection. When students can stay in school, they gain skills, confidence, and safer options for the future.

 

Through Pacific Links Foundation, more than 25,000 scholarships have helped young people continue their education and build brighter futures.

 

Sponsor a student today, and be part of lasting change.

Sponsor a High School Student — $400/year

Help a disadvantaged student stay in high school by covering essential education costs that keep them learning and moving forward. Your sponsorship can support school fees, supplies, tutoring, and health insurance — helping a student stay on track during the years that matter most. Students supported through our scholarships have an average 8% high school dropout rate, compared to 63% among the poorest in Vietnam (UNICEF, 2022); 40% of high school graduates pursue post-secondary education compared to 6% among the poorest in Vietnam (UNESCO 2020).

How Sponsorship Works

Sponsorship is simple — and meaningful.

  • Choose a sponsorship level that fits your goals
  • Pacific Links Foundation matches you with a student based on need
  • Your support provides consistent opportunity throughout the year
  • You receive updates and stories of impact along the way

For student safety and privacy, sponsors do not select individual students.

 

Why It Matters

Education opens doors to safer choices, stronger futures, and lasting independence.

Stories of Opportunity

Behind every sponsorship is a student working toward a safer, brighter future.
