PA Marco Scholarship

The Panta Pride Foundation is honored to partner with the Marco Scholarship Fund (MSF) to support higher education and vocational training for young adults who grew up at the CCH Children’s Home in Liberia.

Many of these students came to the home after losing parents or being displaced by conflict. With guidance, stability, and a nurturing community, they have thrived—growing into confident, compassionate, and capable young leaders.

As they graduate from high school, the Marco Scholarship Fund helps ensure that their journey continues. MSF provides financial support for college degrees, technical training, and professional certifications—opening doors to careers that can uplift not only individual lives, but entire families and communities.

The Fund is named in honor of PA Marco, a champion horse at Michigan State University whose strength is matched by his gentle spirit. His work ethic, resilience, and kindness reflect the values we aim to cultivate in every young person we serve: perseverance, integrity, and compassion.

Today, we celebrate the first six MSF scholars—young adults who were once without family or security, but who are now academic achievers, mentors, and role models. Their accomplishments demonstrate what is possible when opportunity is met with determination, and when a community chooses to believe in the potential of every child.
