About This Update
The Ministry of Education in Belize has announced that high school tuition will now be fully covered through the Education Upliftment Project. This is a meaningful step forward for students and families.
For the 2026–2027 academic year, the Pablo Lambey Foundation will not accept new scholarship applications as we assess how our program can continue to provide meaningful support.
What This Means
This pause applies to new applicants only. Students currently in the Pablo Lambey Foundation program will continue receiving support as outlined in their program.
We are reviewing how our scholarship program may evolve in response to these changes.
Scholarship Opportunities
Students who would have applied for a scholarship with the Pablo Lambey Foundation are encouraged to explore other scholarship opportunities.

Continue to Support Our Work
Your support helps us continue serving students and the community through our existing programs.
We appreciate your understanding as we take this time to assess our program, and thank you for your continued support.
