Scholarship Application Procedures
Additional Funding Support
Awards for most of the scholarship funds are determined by the Scholarship Committee. While awards are primarily based on financial need, other criteria include academic achievement, spiritual maturity, and ministry potential. Some scholarships have specific requirements in addition to the application form. Each student must be sure to submit any additional requirements with the application.

Luce Foundation The Henry Luce Foundation was established in 1936 by Henry R. Luce, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Time Inc., to honor his parents who were missionary educators in China. The Foundation seeks to bring important ideas to the center of American life, strengthen international understanding, and foster innovation and leadership in academic, policy, religious and art communities.
Church Support Many students find significant support from their home churches, through organized funds, or from individuals within the church. Students may want to speak with their pastor regarding assistance with education expenses, or talk to their missions pastor about obtaining individual support as a missionary. (See the Church Partnership Program on page 24 for details.)
