Mission Trip Scholarships
To help those who would like to take part in a trip to Guatemala but would find the cost too high, some scholarships are likely to be available. Accepted candidates will receive a scholarship worth around $250 towards the cost of the trip if they agree to:
- Work at two craft sales and
- Produce and deliver a presentation on their experiences in Guatemala to their church or other group.
Please note that the exact terms of the scholarship are still under discussion for 2008 so these figures may change.
To apply for a scholarship, please email missiontrips@cessmaq.org.
The Guatemala partnership team solicits your prayerful support and encouragement of the partnership, its projects, and the Mayan people of Guatemala. If your congregation or group is interested in a "Minute for Mission" or a 20-minute video presentation, contact the partnership team.
