The plan is to offer three, $1,000 scholarships. The total number of scholarships offered and the final amounts will be determined by the money available at the time the award is made.

Master Clubs does not maintain a list of approved colleges. You may use the scholarship money at the college of your choice. According to the publication, Scholarship Guidelines (Christian Law Association), “An educational institution maintains a regular faculty and curriculum and has a regularly enrolled body of students in attendance at the place where it carries on its educational activities.”

In order to be considered for the Ambassador Scholarship, one of the requirements is that your pastor must submit a recommendation form. Locate the pastor who has known you the longest and is willing to fulfill the requirements on the Pastor’s Recommendation form.

The scholarship money will be paid directly to the winners upon receipt of proof that the applicant is either in college or accepted to college and can provide Master Clubs with receipts that meet or exceed the scholarship amount.
You may only use Ambassador Scholarship funds to pay for your college tuition, enrollment fees, and textbooks required for the year of college in which you are enrolling.

Yes. Your Personal Testimony and your Pastor’s Recommendation will be reviewed by the Ambassador Scholarship Committee. The committee is able to be completely objective because they will neither know the names of the applicants nor the pastors who sent in recommendations. This process ensures that all applicants receive an equal chance of winning a scholarship.
