Summer Staff Scholarship Fund

If using PayPal to donate to a specific staff member, please indicate the name in the note section.

Serving on our summer staff is a step of faith. The financial needs are two-fold. First is the cost of getting to Ironwood this summer, and second is the college scholarship fund. Many of our summer staff would be unable to return to school next year without the additional help of our summer staff scholarship program.  Transportation and expenses gifts should go directly to the individual and scholarship funds should be written out to Ironwood and designated for the individual.

Each summer staffer enrolled in the scholarship program gets $250/week towards their scholarship fund plus a 25% bonus of whatever is raised in his or her name. Each summer thriver enrolled in the scholarship program gets $150/week towards their scholarship fund plus a 25% bonus of whatever gets raised in his or her name. All money raised goes towards the general scholarship fund. Be sure to designate your donation to a particular person if you would like them to receive the 25% bonus. Any undesignated scholarship funds will be applied to the needs of our other summer staff through our general summer staff scholarship fund with no bonus awarded.

  • Scholarships will not be sent until October or November after the school or ministry verifies your enrollment or need. Half of the amount will be sent in the fall semester and the other half in the spring semester. 
  • Recipients must satisfactorily fulfill all the terms of their signed staff agreement.
  • The scholarship may apply to all staff positions open.

  • Scholarships may not be transferred to anyone else or deferred until a later year.
  • This scholarship offer is primarily for those students who must work in order to help pay their way through school.
  • Scholarships will be mailed directly to the school or ministry.
