About the $10,000 Scholarship Competition

“For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes."-Romans 1:16

When one person chooses to live unashamedly for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the world is changed.

We want to hear your story.

If you are a high school junior or senior, tell us in 500-1,500 words how you are living unashamed for Christ in your school, your neighborhood, your city, or around the world. Submit your essay through the link above and then plan to join us on Liberty’s campus for College For A Weekend, (CFAW) Nov. 13-14, 2020. There, you’ll have the opportunity to present your essay in front of a panel, and you could win a $10,000 scholarship.

What is CFAW?

College For A Weekend (CFAW) is an unforgettable opportunity for you to experience authentic Christian college life at Liberty’s campus in Central Virginia.
