Hear it from our scholarship recipients

  • "Embrace it, as education opens doors, you never knew existed."

    The Abraham’s Tent, Inc. scholarship has changed my life by relieving my financial load and enabling me to concentrate on my education and personal growth. It is not only financial help; it is a source of inspiration and confidence in my abilities, which makes my academic path smoother and more promising.

    Ashmini P. - University of Guyana

  • "Education is the pavement for a brighter future."

    The scholarship has eased my financial burden while attending university – I was on loan before getting the scholarship. I feel relieved knowing I have less debts to take care of later.

    Alliana T. - University of Guyana

  • "College is expensive. "

    Even with the best financial packages, there are certain fees that aren't listed from ordinary items like laundry soap to being able to print papers at the school's printers. With the Abraham's Tent scholarship, I am able to pay the Dartmouth Insurance plan and also have extra money to buy mundane items. Without the scholarship, I would be working more than I would be studying. If anything as a first gen student this money helps me have the time to put myself in a more equitable position with my classmates.

    Samantha M. - Dartmouth College

  • "The difference the Abraham's Tent scholarship has made in my life is hard to put into words."

    For starters, the scholarship has been an INCREDIBLE help financially. The extremely generous award helps take away a lot of the stress myself and my family face when we need to finance my education each semester. It has also helped me pursue many opportunities I otherwise would not have been able to afford. For instance, the scholarship helped me pay for a very difficult summer course which allowed me to focus solely on its content and perform to the best of my ability. When the following semester came around, and I had said course already completed, I was able to better study for my other classes and excel academically.

  • "I am grateful for all the support given to me so I can accomplish my goals and education and for that I am thankful."

    Receiving this scholarship from Abraham’s Tent has helped me tremendously to pursue and further my studies in Social Sciences at University of Guyana and this experience has been nothing but a bliss for me even though the roads ahead are rocky.

    Shamara L. - University of Guyana

  • "Abraham’s Tent taught me to believe in myself and to always strive for my goals no matter what happens."

    The Abraham’s Tent scholarship has allowed me to have the education I have always wanted and soon the career that I have always wished for. You all have really impacted my life in such a rewarding way by caring about making my dream of going to school come true and without your help I would not be here accomplishing what I have always wished for!

    Carol T. - University of Alabama

  • "Without your donation, I would not be able to achieve the grades necessary to fulfill my professional ambition of becoming a Software Developer."

    Your generous contribution has allowed me to pursue my undergraduate degree at University of Guyana. I am currently enrolled in the Computer Science with a focus on Programming, Mathematics, Software Development, and Computing.

    Trishon P. - University of Guyana

  • "Because of this organization, I have broadened my perspective on life and things around me."

    Abraham’s Tent has allowed me to further my studies at University of Guyana, Tain Campus School of Entrepreneurship & Business Innovation (SEBI) and get one step closer to my goals in life. This company has given me more opportunities in my lifetime; I am forever grateful to them.
