About

THE CHILDREN'S WELFARE LEAGUE WORKS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GUIDANCE COUNSELORS FROM COUNTY AND CITY HIGH SCHOOLS. COUNSELORS RECOMMEND STUDENTS IN GOOD ACADEMIC STANDING WITH A DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED. EACH STUDENT RECEIVES A MONTHLY STIPEND OF 40 WITH AN ADDITIONAL 50 FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND UPON GRADUATION. THESE STUDENTS HAVE BEEN SELECTED FROM RECOMMENDATIONS BY SCHOOL GUIDANCE COUNSELORS. THEY ARE SELECTED ON THE BASIS OF FINANCIAL NEED AND THEIR DESIRE TO ACHIEVE SCHOLASTICALLY. TYPICALLY, STUDENTS USE THE MONEY TO SUPPLEMENT BASIC NECESSITIES LIKE RENT, GROCERIES AND PERSONAL SUPPLIES. THEY ALSO USE IT FOR SCHOOL FEES, FIELD TRIPS AND, SOMETIMES, TO JUST BE ABLE TO JOIN THEIR FRIENDS IN TYPICAL TEEN ACTIVITIES LIKE A NIGHT AT THE MOVIES. IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2018-2019 APPROXIMATELY 265 STUDENTS TAKE PART IN THIS PROGRAM. THERE ARE WAITING LISTS AT EVERY SCHOOL. IN ADDITION TO STIPENDS, THERE ARE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY DETERMINED TO SUCCEED WHO FACE GREAT CHALLENGES IN THEIR LIVES: HOMELESSNESS, ABANDONMENT, AND EXTREME POVERTY.
