教会奖学金承诺

The 教会奖学金承诺 (CSP) program allows local churches to develop unique financial partnerships with 威尼斯人平台 to benefit students from their congregations.

All church giving to Covenant’s annual fund, the 契约基金, benefits students. This fund supports student scholarships, faculty salaries, student clubs, academic departments, athletic programs, special programs, and other ongoing operational costs. 契约基金有助于降低学费的总成本。 In the 2024-2025 academic year, 202 churches participated in the CSP program, giving a total of $659,778 to the 契约基金. This enabled 255 students to receive CSP scholarship funds which totaled $1,278,872.

Churches give to the 契约基金 as a means of partnering with the college to prepare young Christians—through a rigorous and biblically informed academic and co-curricular program—for lives committed to the person of Christ, to the truths of His scripture, and to service in His kingdom in a broad array of callings.

Any church that gives to the 契约基金 at the rate of at least $10 per communicant member qualifies all current and future students who are members from its congregation for a 教会奖学金承诺 grant of 12.8% of full-time tuition. Students will continue to receive a CSP grant at this level throughout their enrollment at Covenant as long as their church continues to give to Covenant at the same level.

项目如何运作

Churches must make unrestricted gifts to the 契约基金 at the $10 per communicant member level within the course of a calendar year (by December 31) for their students to be eligible for the CSP grant in the following academic year. T在这里 is no limit on the number of students from a congregation who may receive a CSP grant. 如前所述，教会的奉献方式多种多样 在这里.

1. The level at which students from your church qualify for CSP grants for the 2024-2025 academic year is determined by the total 契约基金 gifts given by December 31, 2023 and divided by membership. Updated membership numbers are collected every other year. Church eligibility is evaluated annually, and students’ awards will be adjusted accordingly.

2. Churches that give at the $10 per member level qualify their students for a grant equal to 12.8% of full-time tuition. 给 at the $20 per member level qualifies students for 12.8% of full-time tuition plus $500, the $30 per member level qualifies students for 12.8% of full-time tuition plus $1,000, and the $40 per member level qualifies students for 12.8% of full-time tuition plus $1,500.

   2025年秋季- 2026年春季奖学金：
   $10/member = $5,222
   $20/member = $5,722
   $30/member = $6,222
   $40/member = $6,722

3. Gifts given by individuals directly to the college do not count toward a church’s giving total. However, gifts given by individuals through their local church to the 契约基金 do count toward that church’s giving total.

4. Children of overseas missionaries may receive a grant equal to 12.8% of full-time tuition if any church on their list of current supporting churches participates in the CSP program.

5. Dependent children of teaching elders who serve as full-time senior, associate, or assistant pastors at churches that participate in the CSP program for five or more consecutive years will receive a financial aid package worth at least 50% of tuition. 这项经济援助计划包括来自所有来源的奖学金和助学金。 申请人必须符合最低入学要求。

资格

1. Students must be a member in good standing of the qualifying church by December 31 of the year upon which eligibility is based.

2. Students must meet all financial aid and admissions deadlines, and they must submit a 威尼斯人平台 application for aid form each year. Additional financial aid forms are needed to apply for other scholarship/grant programs. This information may be obtained at 威尼斯人平台财政援助页面 或致电706.419.1126与经济援助办公室联系。

3. 学生必须有良好的学术成绩。

4. Students who join a church in the Chattanooga area after enrolling at Covenant will have their CSP eligibility based on the 契约基金 giving of the church in which they had membership before joining a local church. Exceptions are made for students whose families have moved and established residency in the Chattanooga area.
