gOD IS able- rEV CLAUDIA GAINES SCHOLARSHIP FUND



MISSION





Spiritual and Academic Educational Support. Our Founder Rev.Claudia Gaines always encouraged and took pride in the students at God Is Able M.B.Church. She taught that education was the key to knowledge and a better way of life. She taught spiritual growth came by learning the bible and applying it to your daily life would ensure a closer walk with God. She had blind faith, crazy faith and believed that God could do anything if we just would trust Him. She believed in Tithing to grow the church as well as the individual financially. She wanted each generation to go farther, do better than the prior generation. One way to accomplish that was through education.



PURPOSE





Our Scholarship Fund is designed to provide financial support to families with students in K-12 and College level for tuition, books, uniforms, school fees and lunch fees to members of God Is Able M.B. Church as well as members of our community that need extra support, they are not able to provide themselves. We are not designed to replace financials that families already have in place, however, we want to supplement what families can not cover with their own finances.



HOW TO APPLY





Complete a profile video application that tells us about your family situation and why you need supplemental support. Your application will be reviewed by The God Is Able M.B. Church, Rev. Claudia Gaines Scholarship committee and you will be notified via email of our decision. Please note all scholarships will be distributed to entities for tuition, school fees, books, lunch fees. Uniforms will be purchased by the committee, or a voucher will be provided to a vendor that will accept and work with you to get uniforms. At no time will funds be disbursed to families directly.

Awardees will also be required to complete either one of two community service programs that we will offer or provide documentation of a community service program they selected on their own. You will be notified of the dates once your video application is received. Not completing the community service program will forfeit your scholarship. Scholarships can be used for K-12 grades and College level students. Verification of enrollment is necessary to qualify. Divinity and Trade schools are included in college level training. Students must already be enrolled before they can apply. Scholarships range from $50 to $500.
