Scholarship opportunity
It is our desire to make SALT as affordable as possible
Therefore, we offer SALT campers a chance to earn up to $200 worth of scholarships! To earn the SALT scholarship, you will need to complete any two of the six scholarship options below. Each completed task earns you a $100 scholarship from our Jean Galloway Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Instructions: Below are descriptions of the different ways you may earn a $100 scholarship toward your SALT fee. You may complete up to two of them. When you complete a scholarship opportunity, fill out the SALT Scholarship Form. All forms must be turned in 2 weeks prior to your SALT session.
Scholarship Opportunity Options
+ Quiet Time Journal
Description: Keep a journal of your quiet times by at least March 15th through two weeks before your SALT session. Write the date, the passage read, and the ONE THING you learned from the passage. Of course, you might miss a day here and there, but you must have at least 5 days out of every week (starting at least by March 15) recorded.
Submission: To submit this scholarship opportunity, simply fill out the SALT Scholarship Form no later than two weeks prior to the start of your SALT session. This will let us know that you have completed the scholarship. Upon completion of the form and approval by our staff, we will credit your account with the funds automatically. For this scholarship opportunity, MAKE SURE TO BRING YOUR COMPLETED JOURNAL WITH YOU TO CAMP. The journal will be checked upon arrival (We understand that this journal will be personal. We will not read every day's entry in detail. We will, however, read a few days at random and see that you did record an acceptable amount of days.) Please understand that a failure to bring your quiet time journal to your SALT session could result in a loss of your scholarship.
Goal: To cultivate a heart that loves and understands the Word of God and be able to look back on what God has taught you in different seasons of life.
+ Scripture Memory
Description: Memorize one of the passages of Scripture below. You must recite this to a parent, grandparent or guardian. Verses must be quoted word for word with a max of a one-word help per verse.
- Psalm 139
- Galatians 5
- Ephesians 6
- James 1
Submission: You must submit the SALT Scholarship Form at least two weeks prior to your SALT session. The form will require an electronic signature from both the camper and the listener to verify that the task has been completed.
Goal: To memorize how God tells us to live so that we may better follow Jesus.
