This is a privately-funded scholarship with its own set of requirements and eligibilities listed below.  

         (Carl & Arnelda Sutton, long-time Xenia Naz members now deceased, funded this scholarship in 1992.  Although they didn’t             have a lot of money and never graduated from college themselves, they believed so much in Christian higher education that

         they invested their own money to start a scholarship fund that would outlive them and help students for many years to come.)

Scholarships will be given according to the following qualifications:

• Active in attendance in Sunday School, morning worship, evening worship, and Wednesday evening services of this church.
• A full-time student in a Nazarene Theological Seminary, Nazarene Liberal Arts College, Nazarene Bible College or Cedarville University.

• Consideration to be given to the following:  financial need, work involvement, availability of other financial help, extra curricular activities, areas of service, and character.
• All funds are to be paid directly to the institution to be applied to tuition or other educational expenses.  No funds are ever to be given directly to the student.
• Recipients may be entering freshmen or upperclassmen.
