College Scholarships

Dr. Ryken,

Hi. My name is Bernie Alimonti with Covenant College. Covenant College recently established two new merit-based scholarships - one for students majoring in art and another for students majoring in community development. I'm emailing you to ask you to share information about these scholarships with your youth pastor, missions committee, and individual high school students.

Both scholarships are valued at $9,000. They will be awarded to an incoming freshman in the respective major and renewed for three years. For those who don't receive the scholarship, other merit- and financial-need-based awards ranging from $4,000 to $8,000 are also available for qualified art and community development candidates. Students can apply by submitting a scholarship application found on the Covenant web site at www.covenant.edu. The deadline for submitting an application is December 15, 2005.

The art department nurtures the skills and gifts of students so that they are prepared to speak to a diverse, visual culture through a Christian worldview by using works of art with paint, clay, plaster, photography, digital imaging, and any other materials. The community development major combines a liberal arts education with the theory and practice of community development among the poor from a biblical foundation, equipping students to be an agent of Christian transformation either in the U.S. or overseas.

For more information about Covenant College and the art and community development majors, including their academic internships, students can visit www.covenant.edu, or contact the college by phone at 706-820-2398 or 888-451-2683 or by email at admissions@covenant.edu.

Thank you for helping us get the word out about Covenant College and these scholarships.
