One Student Scholarship Program

The One Student Scholarship Program allows you to underwrite the entire cost of attending Northrise for one student for one year, thus helping to bring hope to the future of Zambia.

One Student Scholarship Program

ONE STUDENT attends Northrise University because of your generous giving. ONE STUDENT is provided a quality education in a Christ-centered environment. ONE STUDENT is empowered to transform a nation. ONE STUDENT will never forget that you gave 100% of One Student Scholarship contributions, which go directly to benefit Northrise students.

The One Student Scholarship Program provides financial support for students to receive a high-quality, Christ-centered education. With your investment of $3,600 per year, you can provide one student with full tuition, lodging, and meals. Or, at $2,400 per year, you can cover a student’s tuition alone.

By your generosity, you can help give students the opportunity to bring hope to the future of Zambia. In order for our students to become scholarship recipients, they must maintain a good GPA, faithfully attend class and chapel, participate in work study assignments, serve their community through service learning activities, and observe the code of conduct.

Here are a few inspirational stories of students who have received hope and whose lives have been transformed as a result of the sacrificial and generous support of our partners.

Success Stories

Ntanzi Bernadette Chita

Ntanzi

Ntanzi grew up in Luanshya and is the second born in a family of four. Born to entrepreneurs who run a small company that deals in general supplying and construction, he plans to take the family business to new heights using his degree in Finance and Accounting from Northrise. He has seen first-hand the value of entrepreneurship and would like to foster entrepreneurship in future generations. “I hope to see Zambian youth being empowered more through job creation and entrepreneurship programs which in turn will see Zambia progress economically as a country. I want to help by starting up and managing entrepreneurship programs that will empower Zambian youths economically.”

Not only is Northrise making a huge impact in Ntanzi’s academic life, it is also making a huge difference in his personal and spiritual life as well. He is learning and growing from attending Chapel and Bible study regularly, as well as through Young Life, which is being run by a Northrise graduate. He is also gaining self-confidence and is practicing valuable skills, such as public speaking.

Bernadette

Bernadette, a recent Northrise graduate, is extremely thankful for her experience at Northrise. She found her instructors to be encouraging and knowledgeable, always communicating to her that “the sky is the limit.” She feels equipped to now face the business world. She is looking forward to continuing her education in the near future and desires to begin her own fashion line.

Despite facing major challenges while at Northrise, she remained dedicated to her studies and persevered until she reached her goal. She states that Northrise facilitated personal growth, as she is now more responsible, honest, accountable, and confident. She wishes her late father could be here to see the young business woman she has become.

She has high hopes for the future of Zambia and recognizes that change begins when the youth of the nation feel empowered. “I hope to see Zambia become one of the most powerful business countries in the world and to see youth become empowered by the government because many youths have been neglected. I see my education making these hopes a reality because as a graduate I will be able to bring about innovative ideas and business strategy plans that can empower the youths.”

Chita

Chita is a first year Northrise student living in the dormitory. He is pursuing a Bachelor of Information Technology majoring in Web and Software Development. He has a passion for Software Development and plans to one day start a Software Development company.

Born in Serenje, Zambia, Chita lived there for 7 years with his family. A new job opportunity for Chita’s father meant the entire family was to move to Lusaka. “Life was easy when my father was alive,” he stated as he narrated his story. “We had everything we wanted as a family until he passed away in 2008.” Upon his father’s passing, his family moved to Ndola. His father’s employer had owned their house in Lusaka.

Years later, friends encouraged Chita to pursue a degree at Northrise. One friend, a Northrise student majoring in Software Development, told him about the comprehensive major. Chita decided to see what Northrise had to offer. Amazed by the courses and scholarship opportunities, he applied and was accepted to Northrise University.

When asked to identify the best part about living in the dorms, Chita stated it was Bible study on Tuesdays because it is a time of learning and growth. He also mentioned that living at the dorms allows him quick access to class and the school library. Praise night is an on-campus event he is always eager to attend because students minister to one another using their many diverse talents.

Regarding the hardest part about living in the dorms, he said, “Living with a group of people from different backgrounds is challenging because they all have different beliefs from yours and that sometimes causes tension.”

Chita values the close relationships he has formed at Northrise with those who have become like family to him.

“The first day I came here, I had a group of people that welcomed me, they were real and friendly and we’ve been friends since.”“The first day I came here, I had a group of people that welcomed me, they were real and friendly and we’ve been friends since.”
