Lumumba Scholarship
The Lumumba Scholarship Fund provides scholarships for students in need of financial assistance to pay their school fees. The average cost to send a student to school for one year is $450. Any amount you contribute will help.
The students are chosen by our coalition partners in the Congo. In return for their scholarship, they contribute to the elevation of the condition of their country through public service. The school year in the Congo lasts from September 15 - July 15.
With your generous support, Friends of Congo was able to provide scholarships for twenty students in the 2006 school year. Our goal for the 2007 school year is to provide scholarships to 100 students. We count on your support in this effort to support the education of Congolese students participating in the reconstruction and development of their country.
