Scholarship Program
|
The Hidden Road Initiative provides scholarships to students from underprivileged villages who are enrolled in a college, university or vocational program. The purpose of the scholarship program is to have a sustainable impact on the youth we've interacted with through our summer camps and projects and to ensure that they pursue higher education, despite their financial hardships.
For 10 years, with the generous donations of contributors from around the world, HRI has been able to provide scholarships to 50 students from villages in Armenia and Artsakh. Learn more about the program and each of this year's scholars! |
Virtual English Tutoring Program
English language lessons have been a staple of HRI summer camps and a favorite of our campers. Taking advantage of the increased use of virtual communication platforms, HRI members are hosting virtual English Tutoring sessions for students from villages across Armenia and Artsakh.
During these weekly, one-on-one sessions, volunteers will be working closely with students in developing their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills through active collaboration, project-based learning, and individualized support. These student-centered sessions will also provide opportunities for learners to draw from their lived experiences, create their own goals, and expand their multilingual repertoires. Teachers have access to relevant and engaging curricular materials and resources that can be adjusted to meet individual learner’s needs and goals.
