Church Matching Grant

Support Biblical Higher Education

TCF has a 90 year history of collaboration with the church

The Church Matching Grant is a partnership between the College and the local church. One of the greatest opportunities a church has is to invest in the spiritual and academic foundation of its members. Students have the potential to receive up to $4,000 each year when their church support is at least $1,000 per semester ($2,000 per year). Since 1932, TCF has been equipping those called to spiritual service and over the decades, a majority of students have received some type of financial assistance from their local church. Utilizing the Church Matching Grant is an excellent way for churches to invest in their members while helping students save on the cost of education.
