Scholarship Candidate - Lidea
Chea Lide is an outstanding student and has scored in the top percentile for all Cambodian students graduating this year with a 96.76/100. She is a Team Leader and has been a student at Lakeside School for the past 2 years. Among other activities, she has been actively engaged with our medical clinic that is held at Lakeside School every Saturday night and has a strong interest to work in the medical field.
She wants to study nursing at International University (IU) and is currently awaiting her exam results. She has successfully obtained a 50% scholarship for 2 years ($750 per year) and we expect student loan options to be available to her within 2 years.
Cambodia is behind in the Millenium Development Goals in healthcare and maternal health. In particular, there is a shortage of nurses and more will be needed to meet this goal. Lidea's peers consider her a hard worker, intelligent, and works well with people.
