Scholarships
The Grace Scholarship Fund
The Grace Scholarship is a humble offering from Open Christian University, reflecting our earnest desire to support those among us who face financial challenges in their pursuit of education. We recognize that even with tuition fees waived, some students may still find it difficult to cover the modest administrative fee. Therefore, this scholarship is specifically designated for such individuals. It is our prayer that through this scholarship, we can extend a helping hand to those in need, enabling them to study and grow in knowledge and faith without the burden of financial worries. Rooted in our mission to serve the local church and equip marketplace ministers, the Grace Scholarship seeks to embody the spirit of grace and compassion that lies at the heart of our Christian faith.
