Grace and Growth Scholarship
The financial burden of higher education hinders many students’ journeys in their desired fields of study.
Students should be empowered to reach their full potential and should be uplifted as they prepare to make their own way in the world, especially students who dedicate themselves to helping others and serving their communities. Investing in students pays off tenfold as they make their mark on the world.
This scholarship aims to support students with exceptional academic achievements and leadership qualities as they transition to college.
Any high school senior with at least a 3.5 GPA who is actively involved in community service or volunteer work may apply for this scholarship if they have demonstrated leadership experience (student government, clubs, sports teams, etc.).
