Jubilee Scholarship

This scholarship was established to help a conscientious student who has a strong desire to help people and needs financial assistance to receive a Christian education at Calvin University. The donor chose the name “Jubilee” for the scholarship with Leviticus 25 in mind and the renewal that the year of Jubilee promised to bring. The donor’s hope is that the recipient of the scholarship will: grow in discipleship and learning at Calvin; develop a life-long passion for peace and justice; open his or her heart to the poor and vulnerable members of society; and use his or her education to help other people.

Basic criteria:

  • entering freshman, sophomore, junior or senior year
  • cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher (and demonstrate commitment to academic work)
  • demonstrate commitment to helping less fortunate people
  • financial need is considered

Renewal criteria: Students who wish to be considered for renewal must file a new application each year and will be given equal consideration with other candidates.
