Departmental Scholarships*

The C.W. Smith Scholarship

C.W. Smith faithfully served as a professor at The Master's University. He was a godly example of a man who gave his life to the calling that God placed on his life with passion while simultaneously serving faithfully to further the church. He made it his constant practice to be involved in pulpit supply and interim pastoral ministry in the local area churches. 

In keeping with Dr. Smith's legacy, this scholarship was established to provide financial assistance to a young man who has been or is majoring in Theology. The recipient must demonstrate a high degree of integrity and Christian character, a passion for the Word of God, a determination to use Scripture alone as the basis of all theological knowledge, superior skills in the theological methodology, and one who is applying the Word of God in his daily life.


The Lynda Varner Memorial Scholarship

The Lynda Varner Memorial Scholarship was established by William and Helen Varner in honor of their daughter to provide financial assistance to a female student wishing to study Biblical Languages or TESOL.


The Alice Richardson Memorial Scholarship
