Covenant Scholarships
Families who love this school have set aside funds so that other families can say yes to a Covenant education. These scholarships are the result.
Every scholarship on this page exists because someone decided that a student they may never meet should be able to study here. Some honor a person. Some carry a verse. All of them are administered by the Covenant Scholarship Committee according to the wishes of the families who established them.
These awards are separate from need-based aid and the Indiana Choice Scholarship, and many families receive more than one. Your student must be enrolled at Covenant before a scholarship can be awarded.
Read through every grade section below. Several awards are open to students at any grade level, and families are often eligible for more than they expect.
These five awards are available to incoming and current students at any grade level. A student entering any year at Covenant can apply, and most may reapply each year.
The verse behind this scholarship asks what love looks like when a person has the means to help and sees a need. The donors who established it want students and families to receive help here, and then look for ways to bless others later.
Tony Johnson served as a Covenant board member and as a pastor at Ben Davis Christian Church for many years, with Sandy leading and serving alongside him in both places. They believe in Christ-centered education and in what a local church can do for its community.
Covenant families have set aside funds for the children of those who serve the church vocationally. Ministry households carry a particular set of pressures, and this award is one way this community answers them.
This award recognizes a student from Chapel Rock Christian Church who has shown both scholarship and service. It looks for the student who has already learned that learning and serving belong together.
This scholarship goes to students who are already giving their time away. Strong work in the classroom matters here, and so does what the student does with the hours outside it.
Two awards are reserved for students beginning their freshman year at Covenant. Incoming freshmen are also eligible for every award in the section above.
Hannah More used her writing and her influence to work for the good of people the England of her day had overlooked. These scholarships are awarded to incoming freshmen who have matriculated from The Oaks Academy, through an essay contest on her life.
This award recognizes academic achievement in the class arriving at Covenant. The questions ask a student to name what they are good at, and then to say what they believe God intends to do with it.
Four awards are reserved for current Covenant students moving into their sophomore, junior, or senior year. These students are also eligible for every award open to all grades.
Covenant exists because a group of people had a vision for it in 1994 and then gave their leadership and their resources to see it built. This award honors that, and it goes to a student who lives out Matthew 5:16.
Brian Hudson, former principal and CEO of Covenant, shaped this school's culture and the lives of students who came through it. He was fond of telling people to fiercely delight in everything from a good book to a great meal. This award goes to a student who learns that way.
This award recognizes students in Covenant's Volunteer Work Study Program who have shown a strong desire to obtain a Covenant education and are willing to work toward it.
Chick-fil-A partnered with Covenant to recognize a student who works hard in the classroom and serves people well on the job. Leadership, in this award's view, shows up as service.
Start early. Essays and recommendations both take time, and the March 15 deadline holds.
Complete the admission and enrollment process. Scholarship review happens after your student is enrolled.
Several scholarships are need-based and require a FACTS application. Submit yours by April 15, or by March 15 for the Founders' Scholarship.
Write the essay for each scholarship you are pursuing, and send the reference link to every teacher, pastor, or employer you are asking to recommend you.
Everything is due at midnight on March 15. Award letters follow with your financial aid and tuition notification.
If you are not sure which awards your student qualifies for, ask us. We would rather walk through the list with you than have a family skip something they were eligible for.
More than half of Covenant students receive some form of financial assistance. Scholarships work alongside the Indiana Choice Scholarship, SGO scholarships through the Covenant Fund at Sagamore, and need-based aid. Most families who arrive here are drawing on more than one.
