CTSFW Scholarships
Applications for a CTSFW merit-based scholarship require completion of an online application form, a writing sample from the applicant, and two letters of reference. Letter writers can be the same people who filled out a reference form for an applicant’s admission application, but a separate letter is required for the scholarship. Letters should address the applicant’s academic ability, service to the church, and leadership potential and should be submitted via email to AdmissionScholarships@ctsfw.edu by the scholarship deadline, February 28, prior to the start of classes.

This scholarship will help not only the student who receives it but also the CTSFW community and the church at large. These awardees will be important leaders academically, personally, and spiritually as they help cultivate the community for which CTSFW is well known.
