Student Scholarship General Fund
A gift to the CU Student Scholarship General Fund not only helps with financial aid for students, but it also funds improvements in lab equipment, learning technology, counseling services, chapel speakers, residence hall furnishings and much more—all of which assist Cornerstone in offering a student-focused learning community where Jesus Christ is central!
ABTS Scholarship Fund
Asia Biblical Theological Seminary exists to equip national church leaders throughout Asia by deepening their understanding of God’s Word and upgrading their skills in ministry. 84% of our students live in economically difficult conditions and, therefore, cannot afford our tuition rate of $155 per credit hour. The ABTS Scholarship Fund is set up to significantly reduce the tuition rate based on nationality. Most of these students pay from $15 to $30 per credit hour thanks to the generous giving of donors like you.
