Each year, Asla strives to award many scholarships to youth in need so they can attend high school and college.

Most recent numbers
The end of the 2023 school year saw 33 graduates! Twenty-five students graduated from high school and ALL of them have gone on to college. Eight graduated from college with their degrees in Teaching, Veterinary medicine, English, Chemistry, Natural Sciences, and Pharmacology! Nola reports that several have jobs, including one working at a university, and others at local factories. A few of our students left the program this year, mainly to emigrate to the United States or Spain, and others to work so they can help their parents feed their families.
The 2024 school year has begun in February and we’re happy to report the following:
