Waynesburg Christian Life Scholarship Application

Waynesburg University’s mission is to educate students to make connections between faith, learning and serving so they might faithfully transform their communities and the world. Waynesburg University helps students develop academically and professionally on the foundation of faith.

Each year, up to four incoming freshmen at Waynesburg University will be selected to receive the Waynesburg Christian Life Scholarship. The scholarship recognizes students that have a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and that are involved in the life of a local church as they grow in faith. The Waynesburg Christian Life Scholarship is $4,000 over four years ($1,000 per year).
