Hernando Baptist works diligently to provide affordable mission trips; however, we understand that God will, at times, call His people to go on trips they cannot afford. We believe it is during these times that God calls the church to aid trip participants in their need (Acts 2:45). For this reason, we have developed this scholarship application form to be wise stewards of what God has entrusted the church while providing for the needs of His people in regard to mission trip planning.
Scholarship Information and Policy
1. The scholarship is to be awarded as payment toward the overall cost of the trip, including travel, lodging, and food. Scholarship monies cannot be used for souvenirs, personal items, or additional spending money.
2. The scholarship cannot be received as cash or given directly to an individual. Payment must be paid to the sponsoring organization on your behalf.
3. If the trip is cancelled or the recipient is unable to participate, the scholarship funds will be returned to the Missions Designated Fund.
4. The Missions Ministry Team reserves the right to determine scholarship amount.
5. A completed scholarship application must be submitted to the Missions Ministry Team no later than 30 days prior to the trip departure date.
Please be aware that the staff at HBC desires your participation on each trip the Lord calls you to join. Therefore, we will make it a priority to aid you in raising support and guiding you throughout the financial process. We will give you resources, ideas, and other opportunities to gain funding for the trip.
