Pakistan Scholarships: 2022 Final Report

The final tallies are in, and Derry Church, you are AMAZING! Because of your generosity, 50 deserving students are attending Presbyterian Education Board (PEB) schools in Pakistan at no cost to their families:

• 28 student scholarships are covered through the 2022 “Shares for Scholarships” program: thanks to all who purchased one or more shares! That includes 10 new students being supported with scholarships this year. Non-designated donations are going to the Friends of PEB scholarship fund to be used as needed.
• 17 individuals are covering full scholarships
• The Mission & Peace Committee is funding five scholarships for boarding school students

The 2022 “Shares for Scholarships” program has raised $14,412. When you add in $3,496 from the Mission Madness fundraiser in March, and the money earned through Claudia Holtzman’s handmade greeting cards sold at the church ($317), a whopping $18,225 has been collected for the students in Pakistan so far this year. Thank you, Derry Church, for giving so generously to provide a better life for others.

In the fall, Derry’s Friends of Sargodha will offer the 2022 Mark Smith Christmas ornament for sale, and those proceeds will also support student scholarships.
