PLP Scholarships

Yes, both the Helen Young Scholarship and the Andy & Debbie Benton Scholarship are awarded to both young men and women.

No, there is a renewal process each spring and our scholarship committee will determine whether a student has successfully fulfilled the criteria in order to renew the scholarship for the following year.

No, the initial scholarship is awarded for incoming freshmen and new transfers only, subject to renewal each year as stipulated in the contract.

Yes, students who are in the Study Abroad program for the Fall and/or Spring semesters are eligible for scholarship renewal.

If you are awarded a Helen Young or Andy & Debbie Benton Scholarship, you will sign an agreement, which includes a commitment to involvement in a local Church of Christ and Campus Ministry, as well as maintaining strong academic standards. The scholarship committee will refer to these contractual standards when determining each scholarship renewal.

Once the scholarship committee has selected its recipients, each student will be notified in mid to late March.
