Our History
AFRICAN SCHOLARSHIP EXCHANGE (ASE) was founded in 1997, formally known as Educating Africans for Christ (EAFC).
After a mission stint in 1996, founders Val and Barry Vickery were inspired by the Malawian culture and people. Their visit here led them to their first scholarship opportunities. The initial goal of the ministry was to facilitate a few of these new Malawian friends with the training they needed to fulfill God’s call on their lives. Thus Educating Africans for Christ was born.
Fast forward to 2014 and this ministry has a rich history. African Scholarship Exchange has provided scholarships for over 800 men and women.
African Scholarship Exchange (ASE) feels blessed to have been a part of establishing a foundation in which respectful, responsible relationships are formed.
