“BEAM played a crucial role in my academic journey by providing resources and support to obtain my GED diploma, which opened doors to further education,” he says. “I highly recommend studying for the GED with BEAM. It offers a supportive learning environment free of charge, which is invaluable for students facing financial constraints. Dedication and hard work are essential too…. The best aspect of BEAM was not only helping me obtain my GED diploma but also introducing me to supportive friends who share similar aspirations like Saw Sein Than and Rejoice.”

“If you're thinking about diving into the GED program at BEAM, I say go for it! Don't wait around. Grab this huge opportunity,” she says.

“In 2022, I was so lost and didn’t know how to continue my education during the crisis. Fortunately, I found out about the CYLD program from BEAM. It had the biggest impact on me. Because of BEAM, I was not only able to continue my education journey with its financial support, but also gained important skills that I needed to work on throughout my life,” Su Wati Nwe says.

Her course was to be completed at the University of Economics, (Ho Chi Minh campus), Vietnam. There Khin Lay Nwe is now an International Business Major and will be very happy to use what she learns to support others in her community.

“It was incredible the day I learned I got the scholarship…. I couldn't contain my joy—I hugged my mom and immediately called my sister to share the amazing news. It turned out to be one of the happiest days of my life,” says Arriet. “I can't express enough gratitude to BEAM EDUCATION for making this happen.”
