Youth and Education Programs


The Haider Foundation is committed to empowering the next generation through education and youth development programs that open doors to brighter futures. What began as small scholarship efforts in Dearborn, Michigan has now expanded nationwide, reaching young people in all 50 states and providing them with the tools, guidance, and opportunities they need to thrive.

Our initiatives are designed to address real challenges that youth face every day. From providing scholarships and financial assistance to offering mentorship and after-school enrichment, the foundation ensures that education is accessible to students of all backgrounds. We also invest in leadership development, career readiness training, and technology access to prepare young people for success in an evolving world.

Beyond direct student support, The Haider Foundation partners with schools, universities, and community organizations to expand resources and create strong networks of encouragement. These collaborations amplify our ability to deliver long-lasting impact — whether through tutoring, mentorship, youth leadership workshops, or national scholarship drives.

At its core, the Youth & Education Program reflects the foundation’s belief in opportunity, dignity, and empowerment. By combining immediate educational support with long-term mentorship and career pathways, The Haider Foundation continues to uplift youth and build a stronger, more educated future for communities across the nation.

A Message from the Chairman

“When I founded The Haider Foundation, it came from a deeply personal place. I’ve seen how powerful it is when people come together to create meaningful change — and I knew I wanted to be a part of that change. This foundation represents a second chance, not just for the communities we serve, but for myself as a leader committed to doing better and being better. My name is Marwan Haider, and I’m proud to lead a mission focused on impact, inclusion, and service.”

Leadership & Values

Scholarships & Financial Assistance

Education opens doors, but financial barriers often hold students back. That’s why The Haider Foundation offers scholarships and financial aid programs to help deserving students pursue higher education without the burden of overwhelming costs. These opportunities are designed to reward hard work, potential, and commitment to community service.

Mentorship & Leadership Development

We believe learning goes beyond the classroom. Our mentorship programs pair young people with experienced professionals and community leaders who can guide, encourage, and inspire them. Through leadership workshops, career counseling, and skill-building activities, we help youth develop the confidence and discipline needed to achieve their goals.

After-School & Enrichment Programs

Many young people face challenges outside of school that affect their learning. Our after-school initiatives provide safe spaces where students can access tutoring, technology, and enrichment activities that keep them engaged and motivated. These programs not only support academic achievement but also foster creativity, teamwork, and resilience.
