EARTH University - EARTH’s Funding Priorities

Financial Aid

EARTH recruits students from low-income, rural areas throughout the world, seeking individuals committed to returning to their communities after graduation. In order to accomplish its mission, EARTH provides full scholarships to 50 percent of the student body, and partial scholarships to another 30 percent.

EARTH’s commitment to substantial scholarship funding not only ensures socioeconomic parity, but is vital to its success effecting change in economically depressed communities. The types of scholarships available to support are as follows:

EARTH Full Scholarship
A scholarship that covers the actual cost of tuition, room, board and other expenses of a student.

EARTH Opportunity Scholarship
A scholarship that covers all of the fees charged by the University for tuition, room and board.

EARTH Partial Scholarship
A scholarship that covers a percentage of the fees charged by the University for tuition, room and board.

Fee Paying Students
A student who pays in-full or in-part the fees charged by the University for tuition, room and board.

For each four-year or endowed scholarship funded, EARTH provides donors information about the scholarship recipient, as well as periodic updates on his or her academic performance. At the end of four years, donors are invited to attend graduation, where they are able to celebrate with the student they have assisted and his or her family and friends.

“I am thankful for the help of all the people who paved the way for me to be here. But I am also grateful for my own efforts, my own strong desires and the will I have to better myself.”
-José Itzep – Class of 2007

“EARTH made it possible for me to accomplish a dream that seemed impossible. Without possibilities to continue my education, I was to follow the tradition in my village of working in agriculture with many obsolete practices and limited possibilities for progress. EARTH provided me with a high quality education, the necessary tools to face tough challenges in my country and provide a light of hope to my family and my community.”
-Wilmer Barrera, El Salvador, Class of 2005
