Christian Fitness Association General Scholarship
College costs have increased dramatically in recent decades, with degrees becoming further and further out of reach for most prospective students.
From technology fees to numerous required textbooks to housing, food, and of course, tuition itself, the many expenses associated with college make it almost impossible for most students to enroll and graduate. Financial aid lowers the hurdle for some students, but often doesn’t go far enough, leaving many people with little or no help when it comes time to pay their bills.
This scholarship aims to help students access the world of higher education by providing financial aid and reducing the barriers to a degree.
Any high school senior, undergraduate, or graduate student may apply for this scholarship opportunity. The ideal applicant has financial need.
