Church communities have charitably created scholarships for students with strong religious convictions to afford secular or faith-based higher education.<\/p>\n
The Pew Research Center reports that 84 percent of the world’s 6.9 million inhabitants identify with a religious group. In America, it’s reported that 42 percent of adults have switched religions since their childhood. College is an excellent time for young adults to mature their relationship to God, deepen their spirituality, and listen for their vocational calling.<\/p>\n
Students may choose to attend top-ranked religious schools like Brigham Young, Emory, Pepperdine, Yeshiva, and Bethel, but most colleges have campus ministries. Whether your beliefs align with Christianity, Judaism, Buddhist, Islam, or Hinduism, religion can be one of the biggest backbones to a successful academic career. Congregants seeking a degree can begin searching for financial aid with these 25 great religion-based scholarships.<\/p>\n
