Phase 4
and
"Support a Student"

Our goal is to offer an affordable, accredited associate degree for the Rwandan students.
Keeping the degree program affordable for young people in a poor country
​is the difficult part to sustain.

​This is Phase 4 of a four-phase financial plan.

Phase 4 of MACU-Rwanda Campus


​In Phase 4 we tackle some of the remaining financial hurdles preventing Rwandan young people from pursuing an associate degree.  
​



​

​Campus Overhead

We plan to rent eleven units of the main building on the street to cover the overhead of the operation of the campus.

Phase 4 Needs

First, in phase 4, there is the question of the ongoing overhead for a small campus in Rwanda. Then there are some other expense questions. Four or five times a year the cost for a professor traveling to Rwanda will need to be covered. Finally, how can Rwandan students afford a fifty-dollar text book, etc.? The associate degree will require online work which requires computers. So, students will need laptops and software. Most Rwandan students cannot afford tuition, books, laptops, software... ​

​Professor Expenses

Most courses will be a distance learning model. Occasionally, there will be an intensive course in Kigali requiring a professor to travel to Rwanda. Professors will offer their classes for free.  They will view this as a gift to missions. However, any expenses, like travel, will need to be covered. Rwanda Challenge is responsible to cover those expenses.
​
"Support a Student"
Previously there were partners who were giving $30 a month for "Equip a Church Leader" and "Equip the Next Generation." This helped to cover the expenses for church leaders and young people to attend training sessions in Kigali. These partnerships have now transitioned to "Support a Student."

Here is the basic idea of "Support a Student."
​
$50 a month for two years will cover things like application fees, laptops, and textbooks.

As the MACU-Rwanda program advances, we plan to have two cohorts with a maximum of twenty-five students per cohort each year. That means we will eventually have the potential of fifty students at one time (two cohorts in a two-year cycle.  But for now, let's think in terms of the first twenty-five.

​It would be a tremendous blessing to have twenty-five new partners to say yes to "Support a Student."
