Scholarships for Christian service involvement?

I'm active in my church and involved in lots of community service. Are there scholarships for students involved in Christian service? I'd love to know about opportunities that recognize this kind of involvement!

Sure, there are many scholarships available for students who demonstrate significant community service involvement, particularly in a religious context.

1. The Episcopal Church -- Office of Youth Ministries offers the Evangelism for All Seasons Grant, which supports youth-led service projects in Episcopal Church communities.

2. The United Methodist Student Day Scholarship awards scholarships to United Methodist students who have been active members of the UMC for at least one year and have a proven track record of church leadership and participation.

3. The Knights of Columbus provides scholarships to Catholic students committed to service and faith. The organization particularly encourages applications from students with a history of volunteerism within the Catholic Church.

4. The Young Christian Leaders Scholarship awards scholarships to high school seniors who are active members of a Protestant church, and have demonstrated leadership capabilities within their congregations.

5. The Acton Institute’s Calihan Academic Fellowships provide scholarships for seminary students, graduate students, and undergraduate students studying theology, philosophy, economics, or related fields, while encouraging these students to explore the Christian theological tradition.

I would recommend that you explore these options to determine which are most applicable to your circumstances and community service record. Remember also to check out if there are any local scholarships offered by your church or local Christian organizations as well. In many cases, these local scholarships may be less competitive than national counterparts. Remember to start your scholarship search early so you can take your time with the applications and essays.
