PEER Teens Scholarship program
Education is a tool that can transform a family and break the cycle of material poverty in one generation. A PEER Teens Scholar is an exceptional servant leader in our PEER Teens program, coming from a family that cannot afford a university education for their daughter or son. PEER Servants’ global volunteers are providing education to the following…
- At-risk children whose families have not had access to a quality education given the impact of war or their social standing.
- At-risk adults (e.g., single mother refugees) who are in need of learning new vocational skills to provide for their families.
- Promising PEER Teens servant leaders whose families could not otherwise afford to send them to university.
The third of these three groups form our PEER Teens Scholars. That’s where you as a Sponsor can come in and change their lives through;
- Providing $2,000/year for four years for tuition, room, and board.
- Writing to the Scholar every three months to encourage them.
- Praying for the Scholar.
