Resources for Students in the U.S.
Haiti Scholarships unfortunately does NOT provide scholarships to Haitian-born or Haitian-American students that are located in the United States. We do get a lot of requests from students that are here in the United States and although we cannot provide any direct assistance, below is some information that we hope you will find useful in your search for financial assistance. We applaud your dedication to pursue an education and hope that one or several of these resources will be useful to you!
