The purpose of our scholarship incentive program is to encourage Jr. High and High School students to involve themselves in spiritual practices and disciplines that will nurture their Christian walk. The heart of this program is our teens' commitment to participate in this program during the school year for summer scholarship money. The following is a list of opportunities to earn scholarship money. Teens which complete 4 of the options below are eligible for $100 applicable to all summer trips and camps that Lamar Avenue Church of Christ participates. The most a teen can earn is $100 for his or her Summer. If the teen completes less than 4 then they get $25 for each option they complete. Should the teen not desire the $100 or not need it they can complete tasks and donate the money to someone in the youth group who could benefit from it. The benefit of this program is to give our teens ownership in contributing to their own spiritual walk. If a teen needs additional scholarship money each situation will be given individual attention.
