The main objective of the Monrovia College (secondary) & Industrial Training School, Inc., STEM Laboratory Expansion Global Grant is to (1) provide the schools three 3, (10th-12th grade) laboratories (biology, chemistry and physics) with a comprehensive supply of laboratory apparatus; (2) Provide school laboratory personal with In-Service Training on equipment maintenance and the proper handling of specific chemicals, and how to conduct effective laboratory sessions that will adequately prepare the students to meet The BECE and WASCE exams requirements.
The students are required to take the BECE (Basic Education Certification Exam) in their junior year. The WASCE (West African Student Certificate Examination) is required in their senior year. Receiving these exams Certificates are crucial to providing the students the opportunity to enter universities, employment opportunities and professional advancement.
The Project assessment, training, supply acquisition and evaluation are provided by Smart Learning, Inc. based in Liberia, The Rotary Club of Sinkor, and community leadership. All brand-new equipment will be purchased in Liberia with free installation and set-up, a one-year warranty and free technical assistance. Upon receipt of funding the project will be completed within 90 days (to include during the summer break for school personnel).
Your project is "Fully Pledged". This means the amount of the pledges is equal to the total budget of the project. Now the project needs to be finalized and go through the approval process with The Rotary Foundation. This process gets started on the administration page.
Project listed for the 2026-27 Rotary Year.

DDF contributions in grey are pending approval of the corresponding district committee.
Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
