Being a modern student is not easy and comes with many responsibilities and expectations.
To be a well-rounded student, one must exhibit not just academic excellence, but also community involvement, leadership skills, extracurricular experience, and more. Flourishing in all of these areas leaves little free time, making it difficult for students to work enough to afford the high costs of college.
This scholarship aims to support college-bound students to ease the financial burden of college so they can flourish.
Any African American, Christian undergraduate student or high school graduate preparing to attend college may apply for this scholarship if they have a GPA of at least 3.0.

The winner will be publicly announced on Dec 1, 2023. Prior to the announcement date, we may contact finalists with additional questions about their application. We will work with donors to review all applications according to the scholarship criteria. Winners will be chosen based on the merit of their application.
Award checks will be sent to the financial aid office of the winner's academic institution in their name to be applied to their tuition, and in the name of their institution (depending on the school's requirements). If the award is for a qualified educational non-tuition expense, we will work with the winner directly to distribute the award and make sure it goes towards qualified expenses.
Before we award the scholarship, the winner will be required to confirm their academic enrollment status. Depending on the circumstances, verification of Student ID and/or their most recent transcript will be required.
