Scholarships—either helping to pay for tuition or providing supplies and materials—are a great way to build relationships with the local community and also demonstrate care that can impact a child’s life.

1: Identification

Look from either within the church, or contact local schools or authorities for children who come from low income families

Working with school or within church, create plan to provide resources or supplies to children and children’s families

Start a special offering at your church that collects money for the project

Can be done through an event at the school or at the church

Frequency – Once or twice a year, or on a needs-by-case basis.
If you seek to provide money or materials to a school, you can make donations infrequently. However, if you hope to focus on a few particular students who demonstrate particular needs, it is good to have a system in place for how you will determine needs and follow up with the students.
Create a fund within your church that is specific for overseeing the raising and distribution of the scholarships.
