Media DTS Scholarship Offer
At YWAM Dawn, we believe that everyone should have access to quality discipleship and media training, regardless of their financial background or geographical location.
Many young people in Category C countries are full of passion, talent, and a desire to serve God with their gifts—but often lack the resources to step into their calling. That’s why we are offering a 50% scholarship to 10 students
inorder to make them participate in the Media DTS.
Our vision is to equip the next generation of storytellers and digital missionaries who will bring transformation through media, especially in underserved communities.
When we empower just one person, we empower a whole community.
This scholarship is our way of saying: We see your potential. We believe in your calling. Let’s make it happen—together.
