Thank you so much for your generous support of the EDN Scholarship Fund. Your contribution directly helps us continue investing in Eritrean students pursuing higher education and expanding opportunities within our community. We truly appreciate your support and belief in this work.

Since launching the scholarship fund in 2019, EDN has raised over $110,000 and supported dozens of students across the diaspora. This past year alone, we received a record 87 applications and selected nine outstanding students for the 2025–2026 scholarship cycle.

The students we support reflect both the diversity and promise of our community. Of our scholarship recipients, 72.2% have been first-generation college students, meaning they are the first in their families to attend college. Additionally, 74.1% of recipients have been women, and 35.2% have pursued studies in healthcare-related fields.

Your support helps make these opportunities possible and allows us to continue investing in the next generation of Eritrean students and leaders.

As we continue fundraising for this scholarship cycle, we’d greatly appreciate your help spreading the word about the campaign. Community support and word of mouth have played a huge role in helping this initiative grow over the years.

Here are a few ways you can help:

1. Share the donation link with your friends, family, and professional network: https://givebutter.com/2026_EDNScholarship

2. Post about the scholarship fund on social media, and feel free to tag @EriDiaspora

3. Encourage others in your network to donate and support Eritrean students pursuing higher education

4. If you’d be open to it, we would greatly appreciate a short video explaining why you chose to support the scholarship fund, which we can feature on EDN's social media platforms. Email us the video to @Eritrean Diaspora
