WPA K-12 Scholarship Fund

Helping WPA C&MA District families afford K-12 Christian Education for their children.

The WPA Scholarship Fund was established in August 2001 as a ministry of the WPA District of The Christian and Missionary Alliance. The WPA District seeks to help provide tuition assistance to financially needy families to allow them the choice of private Christian education as: part of their mission and vision to disciple the whole person---mind, body and soul and a means to help parents bring their children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. The WPA District realized their vision for the education of children and the 2001 Educational Improvement Tax Credit amendment to the Public School Code fit together well. A PA State-approved scholarship fund was established to further support their vision. God has honored and blessed the district's efforts by prompting the heart of business owners to give to the fund.

Scholarship Eligibility

You qualify for a scholarship if:

  1. Your child is enrolled in one of the following Western Pennsylvania C&MA affiliated schools; Clearfield Alliance Christian School, Corry Alliance Academy, Portersville Christian School and Somerset Christian School.

    OR
    If you have been a member or adherent of a WPA District Alliance Church for at least one year and have a child enrolled in an ACSI member Christian school.

  2. Your combined income does not exceed $108,444 plus $19,088 for each dependent and you meet specific PA State requirements regarding sources of income.
