2024 Kathi Joy Wiley Scholarship
PROGRAM DEADLINE: May 31, 2024 at 11:59 PM PDT (Midnight)
Description
The Bible records many accounts of Jesus Christ reaching out and actively caring for people
facing significant challenges in their lives. Many were ill, others were marginalized by society
for one reason or another, some lived in poverty, others were immigrants, or simply looked
down upon because they were women. He loved them all, and He spent most of His life
ministering to them. In the book of John, chapter 3, verses 16-17, Jesus says, "For God loved
the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him
will not perish but have eternal life. God sent His Son into the world not to judge the world, but
to save the world through Him." The love that motivated God to send Jesus to and for us, is
the same love that inspires me to establish this scholarship. You matter, God loves you, and I
hope this little boost will provide encouragement and strength for your journey.
This scholarship fund has a strong interest in supporting the most marginalized populations of
students that are pursing any post-secondary education pathway, including all the following:
degrees, certificates, proficiencies, or hands-on career skill building. Career pursuits can be
anything from Pre-Medicine or Welder, to Certified Truck Driver, or Tattoo Artist, AND the list of
career pursuits is endless. The scholarship intent is to provide the potential to lift a student out
of the circumstances they are in…if they so desire.
