Meet The Louisville Midian Scholars

The Louisville Midian Scholars are students from the Charleston – Huntington area who have chosen to pursue their college education and develop their leadership skills together at Simmons College of Kentucky, a Historically Black Bible College, while maintaining their ties to the community back home through volunteering and service. The Louisville Midian Scholars share a common life and mission together at the Midian House in Old Louisville, participate in leadership development training, and receive support from Midian and other friends back home. Email us at for more information about supporting the Louisville Midian Scholars.
