The Tradition Continues
For decades, PAX has provided scholarship opportunities for impressive international teens who could otherwise not afford to follow their dreams of being an exchange student in the U.S. The PAX Means Peace Scholars program is in keeping with these efforts and serves as an exciting boost to an already-inspiring education success story—that of our partner, Abaarso School of Science and Technology.
Located in Somaliland, Abaarso is an English-language boarding school for the brightest boys and girls from across the region. With only about 200 students from grades 7 to 12, the school routinely sends more than a dozen graduates to elite universities in the U.S. Their story is so impressive in fact that CBS' 60 Minutes aired a segment on the Horn of Africa school.
