The Scholarship Program in Zambia
The Scholarship Program has been active in Zambia since 2016.
In 2016 ASEC expanded the Scholarship Program to Malawi and Zambia to fulfill the need for secondary and diploma level education among women religious. In 2020, a governmental change took place that expanded Zambia's diploma programs from two to three years. This extended the length of the Scholarship Program in Zambia to three years so the sisters' tuition will be covered.
111 women religious in Zambia have been able to attend school because of ASEC's Scholarship Program. Sisters are studying for their secondary education or two-year diploma.
