Art and Marilyn Dykstra

Art and Marilyn Dykstra have been faithful supporters of Christian education for many years. They appreciate the ways in which Christian schools deepen Christian faith and provide excellent educational foundations for service to others in churches, communities and the world. The Dykstras recognize that excellent Christian schools depend on effective administrative leaders to guide them in their mission and strategy as well as their ongoing decisions. They have established this scholarship to assist experienced Christian teachers to return to full- or part-time education in the M.Ed. Education Leadership program. This scholarship also provides for the development of future administrative leaders for Christian day schools that reflect reformed Christian understandings of education.
