The Flywire Charitable Foundation is committed to improving access to quality education and healthcare. By doing so, we strive to create a more inclusive, just and equitable society, where every individual can explore new cultures and experiences across borders, regardless of one’s background.
Our Vision
A future where individuals and communities all over the world have equal access to the resources needed to improve their outcomes, regardless of one’s race, gender, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation.
This starts with closing the affordability gap for individuals seeking to access high quality healthcare, education and other life experiences, no matter where they are in the world.
Our Pillars
Our mission and vision stand on three pillars:
Equality
Creating an inclusive and just society hinges on the notion that we’re all equals, regardless of our race, gender, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. We commit to supporting initiatives that reduce racial and other societal disparities.
Access
Action starts with access and we commit to ensuring minority populations have access to the same educational, healthcare and cultural opportunities that majority populations do.
Affordability
Across the world, the cost of education and healthcare exceed individuals’ ability to pay. We commit to finding solutions that reduce this affordability gap.
Our Scholarships
The Flywire Charitable Foundation scholarships are awarded to students in need to help them better manage costs associated with their education. In 2022 we recognized students who have academic pursuits in the following disciplines:
Social justice
As social justice issues, including but not limited to: policing, anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, religious persecution, sexism, racism and sexual violence continue to dominate the world news the need for significant social justice reform has only increased. These scholarships will be awarded to tomorrow’s leaders who are committed to eradicating racism, violence, systemic biases and other acts of intolerance.
Global health
As individuals and communities around the world continue to overcome the challenges of a global pandemic, it’s clear that there is a strong need for innovative approaches to improve global health. These scholarships will be awarded to students who are committed to improving health outcomes and quality of life for individuals all over the world.
Global citizenship
As global conflicts have escalated across the world stage, this year has uncovered the importance of elevating humanity when addressing challenges across social, political, and economic issues. Scholarships in this category will be awarded to students who embody their own definition of being a global citizen with the purpose of making a positive impact on their community and the world.
Environmental sustainability
The most critical resource that we have is a healthy planet, yet the ongoing threats to environmental health continue to endanger our livelihood. Scholarships in this category will be awarded to students who are actively fighting climate change and other risks to our planet in order to create a more sustainable environment for all future generations.
