A full-ride university scholarship changes everything
Through sponsorship, Young Life's Developing Global Leaders (DGL) Program offers Young Life leaders in the world's poorest developing countries a pathway to a future they never thought possible – the opportunity to attend university in their own country and impact their community with the Gospel.
$250 per month is all it takes
Since 2009, Young Life's Developing Global Leaders Program has awarded more than 1,500 full ride college scholarships to high potential young adults in over 75 countries.
A high impact investment that changes lives
With the modest cost of university tuition in the developing world, the Developing Global Leaders (DGL) program delivers high impact for every dollar invested. A DGL scholarship creates a way for these dynamic, talented young people to stay actively engaged in local ministry while also attending college. For many, this is a life-changing opportunity that helps end the cycle of poverty in their family
"After losing my father to ebola, my sister and I had to drop out of high school to support our family. Without the DGL Scholarship, my family wouldn’t be able to afford my university tuition. Today, I attend university and serve as a Team Leader in Young Life – all thanks to my DGL Sponsor."
