At Crown College, our vision is to develop Christian leaders for global change. We believe our charge is to prepare men and women to make a difference for Christ throughout this world and in all professions. However, we realize that today’s economy has forced many people to rethink their career choices and their educational needs. If you have found yourself laid off from your job this past year, Crown College would like to assist you in either finishing a bachelor’s or starting a master’s degree. We would like to provide you with a scholarship in the amount of 15% of tuition.
