Vine and Branches Ministries - Scholarship Program

How to get involved: Scholarship Program

Wed, 31 May 2006 16:43:56 -0400

The need for educational scholarships always surpasses the actual Scholarship funds which Vine and Branches has available. Paying for things like enrollment fees which average $140.00 per semester at High School level, required uniforms, transportation, supplies and lab fees keeps many Junior and High School students from furthering their education past elementary level. Parents desiring that their children have the opportunity for affordable private Chirstian education have the opportunity to enroll in our church's accrediated christian Pre-k- 8th grade program. To know how much it costs for either an Elementary, Junior or High school student to go to school in Piedras, go to our Scholarship Program page. Please be in prayer about how God may use you to meet this need in our ministry. Read more for ideas on how you, your church, youth or small group can get involved.

Second Semester 2009: Scholarship Students

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 11:16:59 -0500

Our Scholarship youth in high school and University head back to school the first week in February. During Christmas we were able to make Christmas gifts and decorations from some donated stuffed animals and candies. (SEE Photo Album PICS) Scholarship students were able to raffle and sell these in order raise some of our needed funds for their scholarships. After our investment we were able to raise $240.00 dollars total. This money will be split between the 6 youth who participate. Each of them will need to pay a total of $130.00 dollars for their second semester enrollment fees, plus a $35.00 enrichment course fee which most have already begun to attend. Though not all support needed has arrived, we are thankful for God moving on hearts and for those obeying His calling to sow into the scholarship program as some support has arrived. We are walking by faith...not by sight and trusting He will make a way!!

Scholarship Students &Their Graduations

This year Adolfo and Pablo both graduated from the 9th grade. Both students have surpassed their parents education level and received special honors at graduation. Pablo earned the highest GPA in his graduating class scoring a 9.99 out of 10.0. Adolfo and Pablo have both enrolled in our city's most prestigous and academically challenging High School. Pablo scored first place out of all of the new students from the entire city testing to get into this school. As well the scholarship program helped to get Veronica, Victor, Rogelio, Simon, Alejandro, Daniel, Sarah, Veronica, Cindy and Rodolfo enrolled in school for one semester. However, there are not enough funds available at this point to provide for their needed school uniforms, transportation, lab and book fees. Please be in prayer about how God could use you to sow into the financial needs in the scholarship program. One time gifts or monthly committments are accepted all school year and if you indicate your interest then we will even "assign" you a student for sponsorship and can keep you updated on their progress year round.
