Scholarship Program

Help deserving youth secure a better future Thanks to the generosity of donors, CFCA's Scholarship Program has allowed thousands of students in our projects to see dreams once deemed impossible become reality. CFCA projects overseas award scholarships based on economic need, academic achievement, demonstrated leadership and commitment to community service. Many CFCA scholars remain in their communities after they complete their education. Because they were selected based in part on their commitment to service, they contribute their talents to lifting their families and communities from poverty.

In 2006, CFCA awarded nearly $2.1 million in scholarships to students in secondary, post-secondary and vocational education. Projects monitor students to ensure they are fulfilling the requirements of the program. Because scholarships are intended as supplemental assistance, families contribute what they can to the cost of education. Please note: Contributions cannot be designated for specific students. Scholarships are awarded at the discretion of CFCA projects.
