COLEMAN COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP
Bill and Betty Coleman were faithful servants who loved God and others. Through their Christian lives, they demonstrated a great heart for the ministry. They left their entire estate to help young people prepare to serve the Lord. They exemplified Matthew 10:42, “and whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.” Even though they have gone to be with the Lord they love, their work continues by providing young people financial assistance to attend a Bible college to prepare to serve their Lord whether full-time or vocational service.
Consideration will be given to those enrolled full-time for undergraduate studies in a good, fundamental Bible college preparing for ministry. Scholarship recipients are selected from those who have demonstrated a servant’s heart in their local church or from those in a Northwest summer internship program. Scholarships are subject to the scholarship committee’s determination by considering the following criteria: personal testimony, areas of past and present service, and a pastoral recommendation. Special consideration is given to those coming from the Northwest or who are involved in a summer internship program with a church associated with Camp Northwest.
No matter what was on the horizon,
the Colemans knew of God’s great care and provisions
as found in some of their favorite verses:
Exodus 15:2 - “The LORD is my strength and son, and he is become my salvation:
he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.”
Psalm 91:1-2 - “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge
and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.”
Please submit your application by January 1 for the coming school year.
Those awarded scholarships may submit a written request for future scholarships by updating the committee of their need and how the Lord has been working in their life. These letters can be sent in after January 1 for the coming school year. We would hope that you would let us know how the Lord continues to work in your life.
Please note: Once starting this application you CANNOT save it and come back later to finish. Please allow adequate time to complete this form. Before starting this application, you must know your pastor’s email address. This is needed so your pastor will be notified that he needs to complete a recommendation for you. You will be prompted to provide this at the end of the application.
There are two options when applying online. You can chose to complete your testimony using the form or you may upload a file containing your testimony. Some applicants prefer to type their testimony using a document maker (like Microsoft Word) and when satisfied, apply online! If you chose to do this, know that during the application process you will be asked to upload your testimony file. The testimony file should include three things:
Your testimony of salvation
Your testimony of God’s leadership in your life: call, help, opportunities to serve, etc.
Your testimony of personal life: family, community, needs, etc.
