Alumni Scholarships BY KEN HAYDEN ('86) W henever I get to interact with current students or prospective students visiting campus, I like to ask them how they came to know about Word of Life. Almost always their answer includes a relationship with an alumnus of the Bible Institute. Either a youth leader, school teacher, pastor, family friend, relative or some other person in their life was once a student at Word of Life Bible Institute. It has long been known that our alumni are the greatest source for prospective students. Here are some ways and tools you can use to encourage a prospective student to consider attending Word of Life Bible Institute:

Share your Word of Life Story We all have one. Some good and some bad. Some fun and some sad. In one way or another our lives were impacted from our time studying and serving at Word of Life Bible Institute. I hear from alumni from the very beginning days all the way through to the most recent graduates. The resounding theme from every year of the Bible Institute is that it was the best year of their life… often followed up with them saying it was also the hardest year of their life. If you are one of these alumni and your time at Word of Life made a lasting impact on your life, then share your story and encourage others to come and experience the same life-changing teaching and ministry that is still happening to this day. The Alumni Encouragement Award Through the generous donations of our ministry friends, Word of Life is able to provide you with this tool that allows you to encourage a prospective student to start the process and apply to attend Word of Life Bible Institute. This is a $500 scholarship that will be applied to their school bill, and all you have to do is fill in your information,and the name of the prospective student and give it to them.
