While it is a good idea to search for any and all scholarships when you decide to attend a Christian college, it is important to know there are a number of scholarships set up specifically for students with Christian educational goals and backgrounds. Some have been set up for students involved with a specific church denomination and others are only for those who plan to enter the ministry, but some are more general. The amounts of these scholarships vary from a couple hundred dollars a semester to having your tuition completely paid. Here we have gathered a few that may be useful to you once you have enrolled in a Christian college.
