Award

Emmanuel College will match up to $500 per year (see chart below for guidelines):

The contribution must be at least $500. While larger contributions to a student’s account are welcomed and encouraged, only the first $500 will be matched. Contributions of less than $500 will not be matched. (Exception: If the student is attending only one semester of the academic year, the college will match a $250 contribution.)  Contributions received after the deadline may not be fully matched.

The matching scholarship is not available during the summer semester.

Application

The Emmanuel College Application for Financial Aid is the application for the matching scholarship.  This application needs to be completed each year.

Church contributions should be made payable to Emmanuel College and sent by the deadline listed above.  In the memo section of the check, state Church Matching Contribution and name of student.  Please mail check to:
