Scioto Valley—Grants for Ministries in Higher Education

Ministries on college and university campuses within the Presbytery of Scioto Valley are eligible to receive grants for a limited time. In 2006, the Synod Assembly designated the income from investments of the money received from the sale of a campus ministry building within Scioto Valley for grants to campus ministries in the presbytery. This designation is to last three to five years, during which time the synod will be deciding upon the future use of the total funds.

Applications for these grants may be made by using the General Grant Form and submitting it to the synod office. The deadline each year is April 1.
