BAIRD FIRE SCHOLARSHIP
The Baird Fire Scholarship is a program that helps foster and cared-for children around the world. It is a stock portfolio plan that awards children a weekly allowance for doing well in school and acting within the three precepts of the Baird Fire scholar.
The Baird Fire Scholarship is designed to help foster children or any children in various care situations who will need a base for launching into the university or working world when they finish secondary school.
​
The structure of the Scholarship is open, according to the needs in the region or country.

The basic idea is for a child to work for their funds each month, through doing well in school, being a good citizen and doing service work where possible, as well as being a good steward of the Earth and its people.
A savings/investment account will be set up for each child in the program, and monthly installments will be added, according to how well the child did in school during that month.
