There are scholarships available for just about everything under the sun; faith is no exception. Scholarships for faith, church-involvement, denomination, service, and ministry are relatively common in the Christian community. Finding these scholarships may require a little leg work, but there are plenty of places to look.
Faith-based scholarships can come from all kinds of sources. Sometimes the school will offer scholarships for things like church affiliation, service, or ministry (like missionary work). This is not that uncommon for Christian colleges who want to attract like-minded individuals to their school. To find out, students should check with the financial aid department of the schools they are interested in and ask about scholarship opportunities.
Faith-based scholarships can also come from private sources, like businesses or churches themselves. Students looking to go to Christian colleges should always check to see if their church offers any sort of scholarships for aspiring college students.
If students looking into Christian colleges also attended a Christian high school, they may even be able to get a scholarship from the high school or community. Students should check with the guidance counselor of their school and see what sort of opportunities there are for faith-based scholarships (or any scholarships) in their community.
