Educate A Child is a program run by OPEN to provide scholarships for school and college students. Donors can now directly influence a child's life with this program, which will handle all OPEN-funded scholarships.

Contributions are requested at three levels:

• $50 toward annual school fees and supplies for a K-12 student.
• $100 toward partial scholarship for a student in an Engineering or Vocational training program, through IGNITE.
• $200 toward full scholarship for a student in Engineering or a Vocational training program, through IGNITE.

Donors at the $100 and $200 levels will receive periodic personalized updates on the progress of their ward.
