Campus Scholarships

Grand Canyon Servant Scholars Program

The Grand Canyon Servant Scholar (GCSS) leadership program provides high achieving students a unique opportunity to develop leadership skills by working with some of the Nation's top ministries while they pursue their college degree on campus at Grand Canyon University. These skills and real-world education will be critical elements in their path to finding their purpose as God reveals it to them through their college experience and education. As an integral part of their ministry training, scholars will be equipped specifically with a common theme of servant leadership. Students selected for the program will be awarded up to a $5,000 scholarship* for fall and spring semesters ($10,000 for the academic year) and is renewable annually as long as program requirements are met.
