Between 40% and 50% of our students each year qualify for financial aid, some of which comes in the form of scholarship awards. Continual support of these scholarships is vital if we are to continue to open our doors as widely as possible. What greater gift to offer a young person than this Christian Liberal Arts and Sciences education? 

Giving to the 1 Fund will provide general scholarship support that is allocated entirely in one school year. You may also donate to our Scholarship Endowment Funds (below), in which the principal is invested to create scholarship income in perpetuity.
We are grateful for the many donors who bless our students by generously giving to our financial aid program. Many Covenant students simply wouldn’t be here without this generosity.
