Provide college or university scholarships to students
Education is a strong predictor of earning potential; however, the cost of higher education can be prohibitive for individuals living below the NPPS.
Offer financial scholarships to students living below the NPPS who attend your congregation or live in your wider community.
To get started:
Establish a foundation or vehicle through which you can raise and distribute funds.
Design a fundraising strategy to ensure long-term sustenance of the fund.
Determine eligibility requirements.
Consider partnering with local colleges or universities to provide scholarships.
