C.H.O.I.C.E. Scholarships
We believe that all students should have the opportunity to be provided with academic excellence according to God's truth, and to be taught Biblical principles that will enable them to make wise choices in life. Everyday, Albuquerque area school children face a tough urban environment that would daunt most adults. Yet with C.H.O.I.C.E., many more Albuquerque school children will succeed in a big way, building a solid future for themselves and their families. These children will succeed because they are in schools that have a firm educational mission, teach strong values, focus on results, and have family deeply involved with their schooling. As a result, their lives and their prospects for the future are radically improved.
Our program is simple. We pay 2/3 of yearly tuition and fees, up to an annual maximum of $3,000 for eligible children to attend one of many private Christian schools of their choice. The criteria are simple - students must: 1) live within the Albuquerque area; 2) be entering grades K-12 in the current school year; and 3) qualify for the free or reduced cost Federal Lunch Program. All scholarships are awarded on a first-come first-served basis: the families come to us, and they select their own Christian School (providing the school’s Statement of Faith agrees with ours) in the Albuquerque area. Families contribute the balance of the tuition and secure other financial aid, if necessary, so they are actively involved with the schools.
