About Education Aid Donor Levels and Scholarship Program Sponsors
Education Aid is deeply grateful to our donors and Scholarship Program Sponsors. Their generosity makes our work possible and directly funds Education Aid’s three core scholarship programs: Support a Student, Support a Special Needs Student, and Support a Graduate.
Through these targeted, donor-funded programs, Education Aid helps remove financial barriers that prevent students from accessing education, essential support services, and post-graduation stability. Our scholarships support students at critical stages—from early learning and specialized K–12 education, through postsecondary education and job training, to helping graduates avoid student loan default as they begin their careers.
We are always seeking partners who share our mission. Donors may contribute to Education Aid’s general mission, support a specific scholarship program, or work with us to create a custom, donor-branded scholarship aligned with their philanthropic goals.
Every $14,000 raised makes it possible for Education Aid to support a deserving student for one year.
