Supporting Academy Home Education Students in 2025
Written by Vice Principal of Home Education, Ms. Rebekah Hjälmeby:
Hi friends,
I wanted to share an important update about our Academy Home Education program and the scholarship opportunities available for our students this year.
The Academy for GOD remote learners receive their diplomas and other student recognitions from Head of School, Dr. Gregg Garner.
First, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who generously gave to support our program last year. Because of your kindness, two of our students — Rebecca Lubega and Genesis Ssemakula — graduated this past spring! These remarkable young women have been part of our program since the pandemic, and after participating remotely in our ceremony last spring, it was an incredibly moving moment to see them receive their diplomas in person from Head of School, Gregg Garner.
This year, we have more students who need help completing their educational journey. While each has already received some need-based scholarships, they still have remaining tuition balances. Here’s a glimpse of who they are and the dreams they’re pursuing:
Victor & Favour – Seniors
These two have been with our program for years, growing up alongside many of our graduates. Victor plans to pursue electrical engineering, and Favour is preparing for an internship in healthcare. Their tuition needs are about $2,600 each for the year.
Racheal, Joyce & Genevieve – Middle & High School Students
These three hardworking young women (pictured last year proudly displaying their academic awards) are entering grades 8 and 10. Each of them has overcome personal and health-related challenges while excelling in our program. Their tuition needs are $2,300 each.
Samuel & Esme – Morristown Students
Samuel, a senior, is eager to graduate this year and plans to attend the Institute for GOD next year. Esme is beginning her first year of high school and is both excited and nervous for the journey ahead. Both are diligent, kind, and dedicated students. Their tuition needs are about $3,000 each.
Yansse & Gideon – Future Institute Students
At 20 and 21 years old, Yansse and Gideon bring energy and talent to our community, especially through their music (you’ll often find Yansse behind the drums!). After a transformative time on summer internship with GOD Int’l, they asked to pursue finishing secondary school so they can attend the Institute next year. We’ve created a focused one-year track for them, with tuition needs of just $800 each. We are happy to announce that one of these students is already fully funded!
How You Can Help
If you would like to support one or more of these students, any amount makes a difference. You can give directly through the Academy website by going to the “Give” page and selecting Home Education from the options. In the memo, simply note the student(s) you’d like to sponsor.
As always, sponsors will stay connected with updates and personal communications from the students they’re helping — a beautiful way to see the impact of your generosity firsthand.
Together, we can ensure these incredible young people have the resources they need to continue their education and step into the future with confidence.
