Rachel’s Hope Scholarship (RHS)

The Rachel’s Hope Scholarship is a new and transformative initiative established by David's Hope International (DHI). It is a university scholarship program designed to empower exceptional graduates of Camp Brethren High School in the rural Kenyan village of Eburru.

Vision

To transform the Eburru community through advanced education of Camp Brethren graduates who will lead their communities and country, grounded in Christian faith and empowered by a university education.

Mission

To enable all graduating seniors of Camp Brethren High School with academic excellence, motivation and faith in Jesus Christ to attend university and receive mentorship & leadership certification, regardless of financial means.

Goal

The goal of Rachel’s Hope is to ensure that the top graduates of CBM High School attend university and benefit from the CBM mentorship program that will seek to sharpen them and help place them in attachments and quality jobs upon graduation. In addition, Rachel’s Hope is intended to increase the visibility and desirability for parents to send their children to CBM schools knowing that graduates will have the opportunity to receive university scholarships and benefit from the mentorship & leadership program. Scholarship recipients are expected to give back or “pay it forward” to CBM by agreeing to fund a scholarship for a CBM school student for each year they were on scholarship or serving on staff at CBM in a position of need.

Eligibility for Rachel’s Hope Scholars

To be eligible for the Rachel’s Hope Scholarship, a student must meet the following criteria:

  • Be a Graduate of Camp Brethren High School.
  • Must perform well on the National Exam with a minimum score of 300.
  • Must profess faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
  • Must also agree to the scholarship requirements identified in this document.

Funding and Program Costs

Support for Rachel’s Hope will come from a division of David’s Hope established for this purpose. The funding goal is to raise enough support to meet the mission statement.

The Program will start with 4 to 10 scholarships per year and seek to increase to all eligible students as funds become available.

Funding guidelines and targets on average are estimated to be as follows:

  • $2,550 per student per year for up to 4 years (~$10,200 per student for a 4-year program).
  • Kabarak University, located near the city of Nakuru, is ideal as it is a prestigious Christian university that provides a wide variety of quality degrees to choose from and can produce high quality leaders.

The aim of the DHI-RH management system will be:

  • To register every student beneficiary for easier record keeping.
  • Collecting student’s bio data and contact information.
  • Making updates on the students progress in Academics and RH mentoring and leadership training activities.
  • Keeps a record of students' progress academically.

All Rachel’s Hope recipients are to be tracked in the DHI-RH Management system with at least one complete update for each student each semester (twice per year). Key Updates will include the following:

  • Student grades for each semester.
  • A letter from each student sharing their day-to-day highlights, challenges, prayers, and season’s greetings.
  • An updated photo for each student done annually.
  • Attendance of monthly mentorship and leadership development meetings.
  • Attendance of twice per year mentorship and leadership development retreat.
  • Notes from program manager identifying accomplishments or challenges on issues concerning each student.
  • Acknowledgement of key events to include the following: On-time arrival to hostels for each new semester of school, Payment of tuition, Payment and purchases of books, stationery and other supplies.

Mentorship and Leadership Development Program

There is a need for a thorough and consistent follow up on the leadership development and mentoring of the students.

  • Monthly mentorship sessions while the students are in university can be done in Nakuru area in or around their hostels and can be led by the program manager and/or a special invited guest.
  • The mentorship program can build on the Life shape / Chick-fil-A team Leadership materials and other materials to develop a monthly program that provides real value to the students. The ultimate goal is to produce students that have a high degree of leadership training/skill and a Servant heart such that graduates of the program are truly ready to lead and serve in their life beyond education. Presentations can be made based on specific topics that help improve the quality of students and help in improving themselves as future leaders.
  • RH Scholars in their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year will be expected to have some kind of role as a “big brother” or “big sister” to new RH Scholars as the program progresses. RH Scholars are not just listeners, they are participants and leaders as the program intends to develop future leaders and servants and ultimately graduates that are highly employable and ready to impact their communities for Christ.
  • The program will seek a leadership training program that can provide multiple different kinds of certification for the students that will add additional value. For example, students can earn a new certificate each year like Lead Self, Lead Others, Financial Management, Servant Leadership, etc..

Internship, Attachment, and Job Placement Support

The Program Manager will be responsible for helping scholarship recipients navigate internship and job opportunities. In order to do this, the PM will need to work extra hard to help identify potential opportunities and build up the program and the students such that companies will want to hire Rachel’s Hope Scholars for their Internships and Attachments and ultimately even for jobs in the future.

There is need to be some “secret sauce” or something that makes Rachel’s Hope scholars stand out from the others, and these core values include:

  • Confidence
  • Integrity
  • Optimism
  • Proactiveness
  • Excellence
  • Hard work
  • Team Work
  • Professionalism

The mentorship program should provide a certification to show the student has attained the above mentioned core values having gone through different classes in Leadership, Money/Finance management, Business and administration, etc..

The Program Manager Role

The Program Manager works for DHI in partnership with CBM and is based in the Nakuru area. Their responsibilities include:

  • Manages the DHI-RH Management System, ensuring day to day updates are made and Payments for school tuition fee and Hostels and accommodation, are fully catered for.
  • Coordinates the Rachel’s Hope Hostels.
  • Coordinates and Leads Mentorship and Development Training Programs.
  • Identifies Internships and Attachments and aligns the Rachel’s Hope scholars to them.
  • Supports in selection of future scholars from CBM High School.
  • Supports in the enrollment of RH Scholars into the appropriate universities.
  • Supports in building a program that has a solid foundation and that which can serve as a model for expansion to more scholars and even the potential for partnership expansion in the future.
  • Close follow up other laid down policies as directed.

Rachel’s Hope Scholar Commitment: "Paying It Forward"

RH Scholars will be obligated to pay forward or give back to CBM upon graduation and once the graduate is in a financial position to support. There are two primary ways to give back:

  • Serve at CBM in an open position of need for each year scholar was on scholarship. For example, if one spent 4 years at university, they are expected to give back 4 years at CBM.
  • Pay for the scholarship for a CBM boarding student for each year scholar was on scholarship. For example, if on scholarship for 3 years, then pay for a minimum of 3 years for a CBM boarding student.
