ECY Scholarship
Training Ministry Leaders
Training ministry leaders is central to the success of youth ministry. Leaders who invest personally in ministry can be one of the greatest Christian influences in a student’s life. The General Evangelical Christian Youth Department recognizes the need for this type of youth leader. We believe that God raises up special people for this purpose. It is our privilege each year to award the General ECY Scholarship for the purpose of training future youth leaders, pastors, and missionaries who will invest themselves in young people.
The ECY Department is proud to award the ECY Scholarship annually to a graduating senior who enrolls at Ohio Christian University. This $1000 scholarship is available to any student who is member in good standing with a local CCCU church. The application procedures are as follows:
- Provide a written testimony of your spiritual journey and what has led you to apply and plan to attend OCU (around 750 words).
- Provide an official copy of your high school transcript. This will allow our board to review your sincerity and commitment to higher education.
- Enclose a letter of recommendation from your pastor or youth pastor.
The only requirement of the recipient is that he/she follows through with their intention to attend OCU. The scholarship will be given in two $500 awards following the successful completion of each semester of the first year of study. The recipient looses the privilege of the scholarship if placed on academic or social probation or any other related issues so determined by the college or the ECY board responsible for this scholarship. The ECY department reserves the right to revoke this scholarship upon the sole discretion of the General ECY Board.
Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. If you have any questions, please contact the General ECY Office at 740-474-8856.
