LIFE ENRICHMENT CENTER
Foundation Scholarship Fund
(Daniel 1:20)
Mission
The Life Enrichment Center Scholarship Fund was established in October 2020 to invest in high school and college students who have excelled academically, exhibit Christian character including humility, high integrity, and servanthood, and are committed to using their gifts, talents, and education to impact the world for good. The student must have plans to attend a postsecondary college or university upon graduation from high school or must be enrolled in a college or university.
We are grounded in the belief that every person is made in the image of God to achieve good works in the earth. It is also our belief that a college education is an essential tool to ensure that young men and women are equipped to fulfill their God given potential and fulfill their destiny in life.
Therefore, the Life Enrichment Center Scholarship Fund will provide financial assistance to qualified students and will, through scheduled mentoring meetings and strategic activities, encourage their spiritual, intellectual, social, cultural and professional growth and development. As long as the student meets the scholarship award criteria, they may apply for financial assistance each year during their pursuit of a 4-year degree from an accredited college or university.
