The Ambassador Scholarship is awarded to students who plan, after completion of their studies, to return to their home country to serve.
The selection of new recipients is made by the Financial Aid Office. Selection is based on the Statement of Finances and the student’s completed admission file.
Recipients of the Ambassador Scholarship must be enrolled in one of the following programs: business leadership, interdisciplinary studies, ministry leadership, youth ministry, social work, a certificate, or associate degree program.
