The goal of this fund-drive is to provide scholarships to bright and promising African students to study at Dakota Wesleyan University in any academic or professional program in which admission has been secured. This effort is underwritten by the universal knowledge that a good education is a liberating mechanism that affords individuals the ability to think critically and engage in transformative activities that sustain personal and professional development, and in turn provide skilled human resources necessary for a country’s development.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”5″ overlay_alpha=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ row_height_use_pixel=””][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=”yes” align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ zoom_width=”0″ zoom_height=”0″ column_width_pixel=”600″][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ shift_y=”0″ row_height_use_pixel=””][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ position_horizontal=”left” align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ medium_width=”0″ zoom_width=”0″ zoom_height=”0″ width=”1/1″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″ text_uppercase=””]Operational Format[/vc_custom_heading][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes”]Beginning in academic year 2021-2022, CASADE hopes to sponsor five (5) students every year to study at Dakota Wesleyan University.
