Seeds4Hope Scholarships Fund
close the opportunity gap for young people in education
At Seeds4Hope, we firmly believe in equal access to quality education and the pursuit of one's dreams for every young person. However, we recognize that financial obstacles often hinder students from achieving their academic aspirations. To bridge this opportunity gap, we are proud to establish the Vivncaus Sibtxhawb Scholarship Fund. This fund aims to provide financial support to students who have demonstrated a strong commitment to academic excellence and leadership growth.
In today's world, an increasing number of young women are leaving their homes and moving to live in the cities in pursuit of education. Unfortunately, they encounter significant financial burdens, as they are responsible not only for educational expenses but also for covering their living costs, even during high school. Additionally, many of these students face the challenge of limited digital literacy. The inability to afford a laptop hinders their full participation in the digital age, limiting their educational and career opportunities. Moreover, numerous sisters aspire to gain specialized training to enhance their skills and pursue fulfilling careers. Regrettably, financial constraints make it difficult for them to afford the costs associated with such training programs. Recognizing these pressing needs, we are dedicated to addressing the challenges faced by young women striving for education, digital access, and specialized training. By providing support and opportunities in these crucial areas, we aim to empower these women to overcome financial barriers and unlock their full potential, thereby paving the way for a brighter future. In line with this vision, our scholarship team has developed the following four distinct scholarship categories:
Academic Scholarship ($200)
This general academic scholarship is a one-time financial assistance of $200 to sponsor a sister's entire school year of tuition fees, school supplies, uniforms, and meals.
Legacy Scholarship
($500 - $600)
This is a full-ride scholarship that will be named after you or a name of your choice. This scholarship is given to a sister who is going to or currently attending college and provides up to 4 years of financial support to cover tuition, room and board, school supplies, uniforms, and meals.
VMP Rising Grant
(Up to $500)
The Rising Grant is a one-time financial support that empowers a sister to launch a community project, receive specialized vocational training, or finally pursue the business idea she has long put on hold.
EmpowerTech Scholarship ($350)
This is a sponsor-a-laptop scholarship that awards a laptop computer (Value up to $350) to support the student's day-to-day education and career needs.

"As a recipient of a laptop and community impact, I was able to secure a job as a local English teacher and rent a place to live on my own. With the help of the laptop, I am able to create my own lessons and teach students online.

Jee Vang
Laptop and Legacy Scholarship Recipient
"My name is Jee and I'm currently studying at Luang Prabang Technical Vocational College. My major is hotel services. Being a recipient of the laptop and university scholarship for two years in a row gave me the confidence and support I needed to be a role model for my siblings and other Hmong sisters. Today, I'm working at a hotel, and I am one of the VMP ambassadors doing monthly videos to support other rising leaders. The laptop has helped me learn many new skills, and it allowed me to do my job well as a VMP ambassador."
