Christ Church Students: Guidelines for Student Ministries Scholarships

Christ Church Students: Guidelines for Student Ministries Scholarships
Christ Church Teens ministry offers several events throughout the year focusing on the development and discipleship of youth. We never want a student to not attend an event because of financial difficulty. In addition to money from our ministry area budgets, we offset the cost of events by offering students fundraising opportunities. When a student(s) or family still needs assistance, gracious and generous donations are made to scholarship students. All applications for scholarship will be kept confidential. However, we do ask that those who are capable of paying for events not apply for scholarship funding, so that those who have a legitimate need can be assisted. We also encourage everyone, that if at some point you have the financial capability, be a generous and cheerful giver, and donate to the scholarship fund.
GENERAL GUIDELINES:
● Scholarships should be requested only if a legitimate financial need exists.

● Scholarship funding is limited and will be considered on a “first come, first serve” basis.

● Scholarships will be prioritized for students that participate in event fundraisers and regularly attend Christ Church Teens

● The Student Director will have final decision on awarding available scholarships.

● Scholarships are for the applicant only. If you have more than one student participating in an event, each student must have a separate application.

● Scholarships are for each event. A separate application for each event for which you are requesting financial assistance must be submitted.

● Applications for scholarships are due two weeks prior final payment deadline.

● Scholarships are limited and are intended to assist students desiring to attend youth events. Scholarship recipients who fail to attend the event may be removed from future scholarship eligibility.

The Church intends to provide partial scholarship on an "as needed" basis. To ensure everyone has a shared responsibility for the student's involvement, the first portion of the event cost must be received before the church will apply assistance towards the balance.

Scholarship funds are made available to help students attend youth activities. If your student is, for any reason, unable to attend the event and we are unable to receive a refund from the event sponsor, the full amount of the scholarship is expected to be paid back to Christ Church Teens in full. Additionally, your student may be excluded from future scholarship opportunities.

I fully understand the above statement and have shared truthfully on this form about my family's finances, and my student's need for scholarship. I understand that completing this form does not guarantee that a scholarship will be awarded.
