3rd ANNUAL TUITION SHORTFALL FUNDRAISER
for our partner university UEA in occupied Eastern Congo
Donate to cover tuition shortfalls for Eastern Congo's future doctors, peacemakers and other vital professionals.
Many UEA students and their families have struggled but are unable to pay the outstanding balance owed on tuition—which only costs about $1,000/year.
For a fraction of the cost of tuition, you can keep these future leaders on track to graduate.

How UEA selects the beneficiaries of Education Congo's tuition shortfall project
"The students are first identified and recommended by the deans of the different departments. The selection is based on several criteria, including academic seriousness, level of vulnerability and the amount of debt owed to the university. Afterward, a committee composed of three members carefully reviews the different cases, beginning with students who owe smaller amounts to the university. According to the available funding and the number of potential beneficiaries, we determine the level of support to be provided and then contact the students whose situations meet the selection criteria."
—Majoie Ngongo Kilongo, Rector of UEA
