Church of Christ Heritage Award

Minimum $12,000 in Total Aid for Members of a Church of Christ

At Faulkner, we are committed to our rich history as a university affiliated with the churches of Christ. That’s why we created the Church of Christ Heritage Award, an award designed to honor our faith family and make Christian higher education more accessible for families across the country.

• What Is the Church of Christ Heritage Award?
  • The Church of Christ Heritage Award guarantees a minimum of $12,000 per year in financial aid to qualifying students who are members of a church of Christ. After applying federal, state, and institutional aid, Faulkner will cover the remaining difference, up to $6,000 per semester, with additional institutional support.
  • Most Faulkner students receive generous financial aid making Faulkner competitive with many state institutions while offering an education grounded in Christian values, daily chapel, and spiritual formation.
