Many of the students at NIAAD are in a risk of going on social sidetracks, but through the scholarships they are given an opportunity to get an education. The school equips the students with skills and knowledge within art and crafts and make them capable of promoting them selves and selling their own products. They are encouraged to create their own jobs, and follow-up of previous students shows that this is exactly what many of them actually do.
