Description
This scholarship program supports selected young adult Christians who have completed high school and qualify for a one-year training program that certifies them to teach in private and public pre-K and elementary schools. Successful completion of the year-long licensing program provides these students an opportunity for good employment in this sub-Saharan country and a way to be a positive witness among mostly M*sl*m students.
A scholarship is $1,500 per student and covers the cost of registration, monthly fees, and supplies.
If you would like to sponsor a student for a year, you can make a one-time gift of $1500 or 12 monthly payments of $125, and we will send you the profile of your student. If that is more than you want to commit but would still like to help, feel free to make a smaller contribution and we will combine it with other smaller gifts to make a full scholarship.
There are nine students in the program this school year (2019-2020)
