ACTS Scholarship 2024
The Adult Continuing To Strive/Serve (ACTS) Scholarship has been
established by the Deacons of Olivet Fellowship, The Place of The
Outpouring, to provide financial assistance to an adult (25+) pursuing
higher education by obtaining an academic degree or technical
certificate from an accredited institution.
The scholarship may be used exclusively for tuition at post-secondary
educational institutions that normally maintain a regular faculty and
curriculum, as described as Internal Revenue Code §170(b)(1)(A)(ii),
and for fees, books, supplies, and equipment required for courses.
Criteria may include but need not be limited to prior academic
performance, performance on tests designed to measure ability and
aptitude for college work, letters of recommendation, financial need,
and the conclusions that the selection committee might draw from a
personal interview as to the individual’s motivation, character, ability,
and potential.
All scholarship applicants shall submit an application, which shall
include a biographical record and supporting material, including an essay
and letters of recommendation.
