  • Have a financial need to be able to go on the mission.
  • Be in high school, college or early adulthood.
  • The mission must have some Christian faith connection.
  • Complete the application process.
  • Send a short “selfie” video clip explaining the mission.
  • Attend a pre-mission “networking and sharing” gathering with current and former recipients on a Saturday before their venture.
  • Keep either a written journal, photographic journal, or video journal of their mission.
  • Share the journal with the foundation to encourage continued financial support of the scholarship or identify other candidates for the scholarship.
