Christian College Scholarships & Programs for Students & Educators

At ACSI, we believe a Christ-centered education doesn't have to end after high school graduation. In fact, attending a Christian college or university enables students to further strengthen their biblical foundation as they prepare to serve God and others in their vocation and ministry. Christian college scholarships for ACSI school students, offered by our member colleges and universities, is a valuable way to assist Christian school families in providing a K-16 Christian school experience for their children.
