鈥淭he George and Grace Lee Grant for Christian Service Fund continues its long history of supporting students as they answer their call to Christian service,鈥 said Wayne D.

The grant is awarded in the form of a forgivable loan, providing students with financial assistance of up to half-tuition for courses required to complete their degree program. Upon completion of the degree, the loan is forgiven at a rate of 50% for each year of qualifying full-time Christian service. Two years of qualifying service result in full loan forgiveness.

“Receiving the Lee Grant gave me the financial freedom to fully pursue God鈥檚 calling. Today, as a youth pastor in a small Pennsylvania church, I鈥檓 able to invest in students from many backgrounds because I鈥檓 not weighed down by student debt. My degree in Christian Ministry prepared me to share biblical truth and the love of Jesus with them every day. I鈥檓 deeply grateful for the generosity of George and Grace Lee and the lasting impact their support continues to have on my life and ministry.鈥 Anna Schall ’24
