LaSelle Institute initially focuses on individuals and communities in Haiti, including qualified high school graduates pursuing college, vocational, technical, or other postsecondary education, as well as aspiring and existing microentrepreneurs seeking to strengthen or grow their businesses.

Our scholarship efforts support students attending colleges, universities, vocational schools, technical programs, and other qualifying postsecondary institutions.

LaSelle Institute’s initial focus is on education, training, mentorship, and charitable support delivered through nonprofit partners.

As our programs develop, we may explore additional ways to help entrepreneurs gain responsible access to capital in a manner consistent with our charitable mission.

Our immediate priority is to build strong scholarship and entrepreneurship programs with measurable impact.

Over time, we envision LaSelle Institute becoming a broader platform for education, entrepreneurship, and economic development – supporting innovative programs, convening leaders and practitioners, and exploring new ways to expand opportunity for communities in Haiti.
