A2Empowerment awards educational scholarships, based on merit and financial need, to motivated girls in the Adamaoua region of Cameroon. This is done through the great efforts of Peace Corps Volunteers stationed in Cameroon. In 2009, Peace Corps Volunteer Carol Iverson led these efforts, reporting on several of the scholarship recipients. She wrote that these scholarships helped bring Yonglari Yonki Ella back to school and assisted Sodia Dande Frida, a mother herself, to continue her studies. Orphas, like Nahara Aisha Fadimatou, were able to stay in school one more year thanks to this program.
In 2008, Peace Corps Volunteer Emily Strauss reported on several of the girls who received scholarships. When Mahouli Martine's father was told that his daughter was awarded with this honor he almost cried, as he had no means to send her to school that year. Rolaguele Pelagie, a very bright and motivated student awarded with a scholarship in 2008, had no financial support to pay for her education since her father is in prison. Loumbi Bobbo Gisele, the youngest girl in an enormous extended family, accepted the scholarship last year in lieu of entering an arranged marriage at the age of 14.
Several scholarship recipients from 2008 were able to continue their education in 2009. It is the goal of A2Empowerment to continue to support these young women to graduation.
