Christ Church Scholarship Commission
The Education and Scholarship Commission is dedicated to empowering graduating high school seniors in our community who aspire to continue their education and develop skills but face financial barriers. We view this mission not just as a responsibility, but as a sacred calling.
Both research and personal experience affirm that education is vital—not only for career opportunities and earning potential, but also for overall quality of life. Yet, the rising cost of higher education has made it increasingly difficult to access, with student loans now representing the second largest source of household debt.
In John 10:10, Jesus says, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” In today’s world, education is a key part of realizing that abundant life.
This ministry reflects our belief that every young person deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and follow God's calling—whether that be through college, trade school, or hands-on training.

About the Scholarship Program
Scholarships and Grants
We provide Florida Prepaid 4 Year Scholarships covering tuition costs for 120 credit hours at universities and colleges in Florida. We also provide grants paid directly to the college or university in the student’s behalf to help offset the cost of higher education or vocational training.
More high school graduates and young adults within our congregation are seeking certifications, apprenticeships, or vocational training programs. We are developing our capability to assist candidates with costs and resources to make informed decisions about their career choices.
Recipients
For over 30 years, the Christ Church Charitable Foundation has been blessed to support students in pursuing their dreams of higher education. Through scholarships and grants made possible by generous endowments and community fundraising events, our recipients have gone on to become doctors, entrepreneurs, accountants, pharmacists, lawyers, clergy, technicians, and more. Their success is a testament to the power of faith, education, and a supportive church family.

Higher Education & Vocational Grants
