Micah Project Scholarship Fund

What is the Scholarship Fund?
The Micah Project began in 2000 with the vision of supporting these boys as they pursued their dreams. Now, thirteen of our young men, most of whom spent their childhoods on the streets or in desperately impoverished situations, are pursuing college studies! This is a key step in their goal of becoming Christian leaders in Honduras. Our scholarship fund seeks to raise $130,000 a year to support our college students throughout their years of college studies. The fund pays for tuition costs, room and board, books and other expenses incurred while studying. Take a moment to read below about each of our college students!
