Shaker IMSP — Shaker International Micro Scholarship Program

The Shaker International Micro Scholarship Program (IMSP) is a targeted humanitarian initiative designed to recognize potential and create early access to education for students in underserved communities.

Shaker IMSP operates under Shaker International Scholarship Programs (SISP) and serves as an entry pathway for students who demonstrate promise, effort, and academic commitment but lack sufficient resources.

We serve people to empower them toward success — so they may, in turn, serve and strengthen their own nations.

Micro scholarships are not merely financial support. They are a message of recognition — a signal to students that their future matters and that their journey has been seen.

Purpose of Shaker IMSP

The purpose of Shaker IMSP is simple yet transformative:

To open the door.

This first step introduces students to the SISP ecosystem and allows them to build trust, accountability, and academic confidence.

• Recognize academic effort and potential
• Provide early, meaningful financial support
• Encourage discipline, growth, and responsibility
• Create a pathway toward long-term scholarships

How Students Are Identified

Students may be introduced to Shaker IMSP through multiple channels, ensuring inclusivity and fairness across regions.

• Community outreach and local engagement
• Partner schools and institutions
• Recommendations from educators and leaders
• Academic performance recognition
• Direct scholarship applications
• SISP-led awareness and education campaigns

Each micro scholarship amount is calibrated according to local economic conditions to ensure dignity and meaningful impact.

What the Micro Scholarship Supports

• School supplies and educational materials
