Open Your Heart Week - The Study's Nicaragua Scholarship Fund
The year, February 10 - 28 is Open your Heart Week. During this week, we will be celebrating our work in Nicaragua.
History of our Partnership with the Diria Institute
The Nicaragua initiative began in 2009, when Sofia Essayan-Perez, a then Grade 9 student, proposed that we adopt a sister school, the Diria Institute, in a rural village in Diria, Nicaragua. Since then, our project has expanded to include 3 key elements: a scholarship program, a community service trip and annual school improvements.
Throughout the week, we will raise funds for both the Nicaragua Scholarship and school improvements at The Diria Institute.
February 13:
The Toonie Race
On February 13, students will take part in the Toonie Race, a fun and spirited way to raise funds for school improvements at the Diria Institute.
Start collecting your toonies now and join the race!
Every donation counts

The most impactful scholarship application was from a 16-year-old who spoke of wanting the “dignity of an education”. Throughout the process of selecting our scholarship winner, Study students come to understand that we can change the world, one girl at a time.
