Established in honor of Rye Barcott’s late father, Tim Schwartz-Barcott, the Lux Sit Scholarship Fund will fully support the educational journey of youth leaders in Kenya for as long as their educational needs require. The scholarships will then transfer to new students, continuing the cycle indefinitely. All students receiving a Lux Sit Scholarship will participate in CFK activities, such as leadership training and service to their communities.
A U.S. marine, dedicated mentor, and advocate for peace, Tim was committed to education and public service. For much of his life, he marked correspondence to friends and family with “Lux Sit,” which translates from Latin to “Let there be light.” The Lux Sit Scholarship Fund furthers Tim’s legacy and allows his life to continue inspiring and transforming the lives of countless youth in some of the world’s most disadvantaged communities.
