In 2008, a Ministerial Scholarship Fund was established with the Salem Community Foundation. Scholarship aid will assist those who will spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This scholarship is extended to individuals who wish to enter the fields of the Ministry, Christian Education, Youth Ministry, or a closely related field. The anonymous donor of the Ministerial Scholarship recognized the financial impact and sincere desire to dedicate oneself to a career path in ministry. Scholarship awards are valid at Bible Colleges, undergraduate and graduate schools. Applicants must submit indication of financial need, academic performance, reference letters, and a personal statement. The Ministerial Scholarship does not discriminate on the basis of religious denomination, age, sex, race, or geography.
