The Advaya
Scholarship
Advaya International has created a unique scholarship program that develops both essential enhanced cognitive, and core life skills in kids 18-23 who have or are aging out of foster care. Without permanence these kids have no support system for navigating into college much less a job that will pay, and where they will not be exploited. The statistics are alarming. Even the best students who dedicated 8 years to getting good grades to get accepted into college are not equipped to actually make the transition and be able to survive.
The Advaya Scholarship Program provides structured group housing with capable and qualified mentors who can give instruction day to day, week to week on anything from cooking nutritious meals, to proper cleaning and hygiene skills as well as integral practice developing strong midbrain function and regular physical exercise to generate a solid base line for these young adults to modulate from and create full lives for themselves. We also provide support and guidance helping them learn to drive, get a car, go to college, manage a budget and establish themselves as productive and capable individuals in our cities and towns.
Over 24,000 kids age out of foster care each year with nowhere to go. The statistics behind these numbers tell the real truth. The objective of the Advaya Scholarship program is to not only foster the needs of a young adult trying to make a start, we are developing the potential in these fresh minds to expand far beyond their circumstances and hopefully manifest in their lives a deep understanding of universal love and the higher consciousness of humanity through practice and vocation.
The Advaya Scholarship initiative also serves as a research program working directly with the neurology dept. at for obtaining, analyzing, and developing data into the cognitive functions of the midbrain and cerebral cortex, how these young adults are affected over time through specific practice, and how we can better utilize these developed capacities through vocation and service. Cultivating these faculties in kids this age could potentially lead to profound actualizations in the greater service of humanity. Establishing a permanency through the organization and practice may perhaps be the greatest gift any young person could receive.
