During this Holy Christmas week, let us all make an effort to welcome needy Christian students and give them an education scholarship as a Christmas gift.

Jerusalem Students is an, affordable and very worthwhile initiative for councils, knights or parishioners to support. The sponsors of Jerusalem Students offer an education scholarship for a needy Christian student in the Holy Land (with a recent option also to choose a needy student in Lebanon). Jerusalem Students is very affordable starting at $21 per month to share the scholarship of a student, $42 for full scholarship.
