Apply for Financial Support

If someone invited you here, you are already known and valued. We exist to walk alongside Christian leaders carrying the weight of calling. Choose the program that fits your situation below.

Before you begin: We offer two distinct programs. Please read both descriptions carefully to ensure you are starting the correct application. If you are unsure which fund applies to your situation, reach out before applying — we would rather help you get it right than have you restart.

Available Programs

Scholars Fund
Helping children of Christian missionaries and church staff pursue higher education without the crushing weight of tuition.

Eligibility

  • Child of paid Antioch Movement staff or missionary
  • Full-time, part-time, or bivocational placement
  • Pursuing undergraduate degree or trade school
  • U.S.-based institutions only
  • Minimum 2.5 GPA required

Attending an international institution? Contact us before applying.

Disbursement

  • Funds paid directly to the student's educational institution
  • Not disbursed to applicants directly

Award amounts for the 2026 cycle will reflect funds raised through the June 15 application window. We are actively working to meet our $3,000 per student commitment and will communicate final award levels before disbursement.

Jubilee Fund
Targeted relief for Christian leaders facing unexpected hardship, mission-critical expenses, or significant life transitions.
