Dear Scholarship Applicant,
Greetings and Praise the
Lord! Proverbs 23:23 states, “Buy the truth, and sell it not; also
wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.” In this passage King
Solomon expresses the value of education, training, and experience. As
well, we are aware of the tremendous value and ever increasing cost of a
quality education for our youth. With this in mind, the NYFC is please
to announce the 2010 Memorial Scholarship. We are also delighted to
announce that we will be awarding two $1000 scholarships.
The
NYFC Memorial Scholarship is designed to honor those who sacrificed and
labored for the national body over the years, and have passed on to be
with the Lord, by providing college scholarships in their memory to the
future leaders of our organization. Although we can never pay these
remarkable men and women of God for their works, through this
scholarship program the National Youth for Christ will try to honor them
and their legacy.
To be eligible to apply for the
NYFC Memorial Scholarship one must be a freshman or community college
transfer student entering a 4-year college/university in Fall 2010; have
a minimum 3.0 high school GPA; be accepted and enrolled in a 4-year
college/university for Fall 2010; be baptized according to Acts 2:38;
and be a member in good standing with a Way of the Cross Church.
Candidates will be evaluated on their high school GPA; class rank; SAT
scores; school and community activities; local and national church
involvement; awards and leadership positions; essays; and recommendation
letters.
Each church will receive one paper copy of the
application. The application can also be downloaded here.
The application and information can be found on the scholarship page.
Please announce the scholarship to your congregation and make copies of
the scholarship application available to all eligible youth in your
church. Complete scholarship applications should be mailed to:

Dear Pastors and YFC Presidents,
Hebrews 6:10 states, “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.” With this in mind, in 2005 the NYFC Executive Board established the National Youth for Christ Memorial Scholarship.
This scholarship program is designed to honor those who sacrificed and labored for the national body over the years, and have passed on to be with the Lord, by providing college scholarships in their memory to the future leaders of our organization. Although we can never pay these remarkable men and women of God for their works, through this scholarship program the National Youth for Christ will try to honor them and their legacy.
As well, NYFC understand the increasing importance and rising costs of a higher education. Thus, the National Youth for Christ will be looking to award annually at least one $1,000 memorial scholarship to an outstanding youth. This year we are happy to announce that we will be awarding two scholarships.
To be eligible to apply for the NYFC Memorial Scholarship one must be a freshman entering a 4-year college/university in Fall 2010; have a minimum 3.0 high school GPA; be accepted and enrolled in a 4-year college/university for Fall 2010; be baptized according to Acts 2:38; and be a member in good standing with a Way of the Cross Church.
Candidates will be evaluated on their high school GPA; final class rank; SAT scores; school and community activities; local and national church involvement; awards and leadership positions; essays and recommendation letters.
Previous winners include Steven Plater (*2003 - Bethel WOTCC), Meghan Holly (*2004 - Refuge WOTCC), Crystal Butler (2005 - Bethel WOTCC), Tyrett Fisher (2006 – Tried WOTCC), Joy Miller (2007 - Gates of Praise WOTCC), Jessica Scales (2008 - Shiloh WOTCC), and Vedina Singh (2009 – Mt. Calvary WOTCC)
One copy of the application for the 2010 National Youth for Christ Memorial Scholarship will be mailed to the individual churches and it can also be downloaded from our website, www.wotccyfc.org. The application will be located on the scholarships page.
Yours in Christ,
Elder Travell Travis, Esq.
