Foundation for College Christian Leaders

Foundation for College Christian Leaders supports undergraduate students whose academic plans, financial circumstances, and Christian leadership align with its mission. Its work is anchored by the Christian College Leaders Scholarship, a program for entering and continuing bachelor’s degree students who either reside in or attend college in California, Oregon, or Washington. The foundation’s scholarship activity is directed toward students who combine academic performance with faith-based leadership and documented financial need. The organization’s eligibility framework is specific and selective. Applicants must be high school seniors or college students at the freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior level, maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA, and document family financial need through parents’ combined income of less than $75,000. The foundation also requires evidence of Christian testimony and leadership. In its selection process, it weighs leadership history, academic achievement, financial need, and demonstrated academic, vocational, and ministry training intended to further the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Special consideration is given to minority students. The foundation’s scholarship support is both need-based and merit-based, and award amounts vary. Its geographic reach is concentrated in the western United States through service to students connected to CA, OR, and WA. The annual application cycle listed for this program opens on March 31, 2026, and closes on May 31, 2026. Taken together, these criteria show an organization focused on investing in Christian college students who are preparing for leadership through undergraduate education while balancing academic standards, ministry commitment, and financial need.
