First Time College Students
We can take some of the stress off going to college by providing you with your college supplies. Our trunks retail $6-800. Image what you could do with that extra money.
Get started right this college year.
This scholarship is based on the following criteria...
-
You must be a "First Time" Freshman College Student (High Schooler or Adult) officially enrolled in a university/college full-time; AND
-
You must be living on campus in an assigned dormitory or apartment and not at home; AND
-
You must submit a completed scholarship application with college acceptance letter and housing assignment in the allotted time.
Students will be selected based on criteria and first-come-first-serve basis. However, preference will be given to The Shepherd's House International Christian Church student members. This year we have two special dedicated trunks to a student attending; Frederick Douglas High School, Southern University A & M College and University and Florida A & M College and University (in Memory of Jamahri Syndor). The remaining trunks will be given to outside students.
The program DOES NOT ship trucks due to cost. If a student is not in the local area for pickup, you must be able to arrange for pick-up. We apologize for this inconvenience but the cost to ship takes away funding from items which our students could really use and that becomes additional labor.
We are dedicating a Trunk to a
FAMU student.
In memory of our 2017 recipient, Jamahri Syndor (below) ,who was a couple days away from attending FAMU, when she was tragically killed in her hometown of DC.
We provide our select participants with...
-
Footlocker Trunk w/ master lock

I just want to take a moment to say thank you to the Ministry and sponsors of the PASS project for the items my son received. He was able to get time off his job to attend the service which he said he enjoyed, and was happy to receive the bible and the items he can use in his dorm.

Many, many thanks for what you did for our two kids. They both loved the African Shea Butter soap!
