| International Student Scholarships
In much of the developing world poor children are denied an education
because their families cannot afford to send them to school. Yet
education is their best hope for a better life. Recognizing this need
and God’s call to care for the poor, MIPC supports a scholarship
program with the organizations listed below:
Warm Family School for the Blind; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Blind
students receive support to develop a career and become part of a
caring community. - Daughters of Mary Immaculate, Hue,
Vietnam. An order of Roman Catholic nuns who run a medical clinic for
the poor and are in regular contact with hundreds of poor students and
their families in central Vietnam.
Vietnam Presbyterian
Church, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Scholarships are available for poor
sons and daughters of the VNPC and for pastors and church leaders to
complete their education. Servants to Asia’s Urban Poor,
Phnom Penh, Cambodia. A Christian organization in the slums of Phnom
Penh that oversees the welfare of 700 AIDS orphans. Mekong Minority Foundation, Chiang Mai Thailand. MIPC has had a scholarship program there for poor girls since 1992.
Child
Academy, Tembisa, South Africa. The main objective of the Child
Academy is to promote educational opportunities for poor children
living in Tembisa township. The Child Academy provides a ray of hope
for children and families living in extreme poverty.
In
the developing world, as little as $350 a year pays all or most of the
expenses of an elementary age student through university and even
graduate school.
The $350 commitment is to last as long as the student remains in school. Scholarships are needed for all ages of students.
Each
of our scholarship contacts is a trusted mission partner with whom we
remain in constant contact. If you choose, you may visit your
scholarship student.
