Mission Scholarship Program

Scroll Down For Application

The Christ Center has established a scholarship fund as part of our mission to help students at Colorado Mesa University and the University of Malaga grow in their faith and dedication to Jesus Christ. The fund is sustained by gifts from individuals, churches and organizations that share our passion for college students, and wish to support them in their call to missions – locally, nationally or overseas.

I can hardly begin to express my gratitude for your ongoing prayers, encouraging words and financial support as I embarked on a life-changing trip to Columbia, South America.
Daniel Somerville, Scholarship Recipient

The Christ Center has been an enormous blessing. Not only is it an amazing place to come together, but the missions scholarship has helped me go multiple times all over the world to serve!
Andy Nicoletti, Scholarship Recipient
