    Church Matching Scholarship

    Scholarship Description

    This program has been developed to encourage churches to provide scholarship support for their students preparing to serve Christ in the church, society, and the world.

    This program is not designed to match wages, internship monies, or gifts from individuals for specific students.

    Cairn University will match up to $1,000 for full-time students enrolled in Cairn’s Traditional Undergraduate, Graduate, or Degree Completion Program.

    Requirements

    August 1st is the deadline for the application to be submitted with the scholarship check. Cairn University will match up to $1,000 applied to the fall semester if the application and funds from the church are received by August 1st. Both the church funds and the matching funds will be applied to the fall semester.

    Please Note:

    1. A church official must complete this form and submit to Cairn with a check, payable to Cairn University, by the appropriate deadline. Forms and checks received after the deadline will be credited to the account of the student but will not be matched.
    2. It is the responsibility of the student to know how the donation from the church and the match by Cairn University will be coordinated with other financial aid. The student should check with the Financial Aid Office to know how the award will benefit him/her. The student is responsible to follow-up with the church to ensure information is submitted before the deadline.
    3. Donations will be accepted from church and para-church organizations only. Personal checks and gifts from other types of agencies will not qualify for matching funds. Donations for the Church Matching Scholarship Program must not come from wages that would be received on an hourly or salaried basis. Volunteer workers are prohibited from receiving compensatory gifts through this program as well.
    4. Cairn University will withhold the Cairn match portion of the award until the student has submitted appropriate paperwork. Cairn match funds will be credited after enrollment has been verified.
