Bright Stars of Bethlehem Scholarship Funds allows you make space for a person in need in a program that matches your concerns.  By providing a scholarship you can support services for a youth, elder or family in these programs:

• Bright Stars Program for Children & Youth: after-school enrichment and educational activities for kids ages 6-16
• Ajyal "Generations" Elder Care Program: a community care program for senior citizens, with weekly meetings for those who can attend, and home visits for shut-ins in the Bethlehem area, including rural villages
• Azwaj "Young Families" Program: a group for young couples and families with young children to meet and discuss issues relevant to their lives, as well as enjoy recreation and fellowship
• Dar al-Kalima College: a growing center of excellence in higher education, with courses in Glass & Ceramic Arts and Documentary Film

Your support will keep quality, life-affirming programs accessible to the youth, elders and families who live under the constant pressure of financial insecurity and the stress of  military occupation.  Your gift will not only help keep hope alive in the town where Christ was born 2000 years ago, it will help spread hope to people living in despair today.

Most importantly, when you give you will show that you care about your youth's, elder's or family's personal well-being.  You will demonstrate in a tangible way that she or he is not forgotten. 

All recipients contribute to the financial costs of their program, but they cannot bear the costs alone.  There exists a large financial gap between what recipients can afford and the actual costs of delivering these high-quality services.  This is why Bright Stars of Bethlehem is seeking caring, generous people who are moved to help. 

Since Bright Stars of Bethlehem is uniquely connected with the programs being funded, we can assure you that your donation will make possible programs in which your recipient is participating, and that all funds given are used for the purposes for which it was given. 

Groups, such as Sunday School classes, youth or young adult groups, or mission groups can work together to provide a scholarship.  Please identify one person to communicate with Bright Stars of Bethlehem.
