Scholarship & Mission Project Funds

The St. Cross Mission Endowment Fund supports programs or projects at St. Cross or in the wider Christian community. Up to one-third of the money distributed each year is available for grants, scholarships or loans for members of the parish or their offspring to participate in training enabling them to grow in Christian faith and service. This may include college, university or seminary training, or attendance at church-related camping or conference experiences. Academic merit and financial need will be considered. All grants are for one year, although additional funding may be applied for in subsequent years. Each application must be completed by the individual seeking funds.
