How Does the Sponsorship Program Work?

Eligibility:

Candidates may submit an application to the Sponsorship Program after they have been accepted into the university and have paid the non-refundable matriculation fee. Applications must arrive prior to the academic term and may not be made retroactive for any term. Early application is strongly recommended. The Sponsorship Program application forms can be found on the forms page.

Sponsorship Program Information:

• Missional University provides the student with a 50% Tuition Scholarship.
• The student receives training in biblical stewardship, micro-fundraising, social media and digital marketing.
• The training includes seminars, discussions, and principles of fundraising and support nurture.
• Other topics include budgeting and personal finance.
• Students learn to identify through their network of family and friends, specific donors who will each give $50 to $75 per month to the Sponsorship Program Scholarship Fund and support them in prayer.
• Supporters will be able to handle their donations through a student-specific fundraising site through Missional University.
• Contributions are tax-deductible.
• Students are encouraged to network with their faith community (church or home group) to give $1000 per year to the Sponsorship Program Scholarship Fund.
