About The Seacoast Scholarship

The Seacoast Scholarship Fund provides scholarship assistance for Seacoast youth who are pursuing God’s will for their lives through higher education. Scholarships are overseen by a team of staff and volunteers and are awarded through a competitive application and interview process.

God has given each of us a dream. Education through a university, technical, or trade school is one of the tools God uses in helping us to reach our full potential. By becoming what God created us to be, He can use us in the workplace, in ministry, and in our homes to expand the kingdom of God. This scholarship is for that person who has a relationship with Christ, is seeking His will in their life, and believes that education is the next step in accomplishing God’s dream for their life.
