The Christian Missionary Scholarship Foundation offers scholarship with the aim to help the children of missionary families.
They are doing their best to make children use their Christian college education to make a further impact on the world and pass the blessing on to others in who are showing financial need.
Full Description
The great thing to know is that the awards given vary in amount and are renewable for four years, but only if the student is making satisfactory academic progress and is enrolled full time.
