What's Your Scholarship Vision?
You can create a scholarship tailored to your specific passion or motivation. You can honor a loved one or encourage students pursuing a particular major. You can also customize your scholarship by specifying grade level, financial need, and renewability.
Criteria could include:
- Financial need, so every student has access to a Calvin education.
- Program of interest, so students can explore with curiosity and pursue their calling.
- Off-campus study, so students can experience the world in a new way.
- Nationality, so our community can be enriched by students from all over the country and the world.
- Diversity, so we can better reflect our historical and foundational mission of Biblical reconciliation in “From Every Nation.”
- Plans after graduation, so students are equipped to lead with purpose and faith.

Ways to Fund a Scholarship
You can create and maintain a "currently funded scholarship" by making yearly gifts of $3,000 or more with a commitment of at least five years.
Establish an endowment with a one-time gift or a series of gifts over a period of five years.
The endowment can be funded by an individual, a family, a group of donors, or a professional organization.
You can use a planned gift, such as a bequest, IRA distribution, or estate provision to establish a named scholarship that reflects your passions or honors a loved one.
