Eagle Scholars Program

“My favorite memory from Eagle Scholars would definitely be traveling to New York City. I enjoyed teaching science to the third and fourth graders and seeing how excited they got. I also loved meeting with the older girls and sharing parts of our testimonies. It was amazing to watch God use the testimonies of eagle scholars to help the New York students open up and reach breakthroughs in their own lives. I also grew a lot closer to my classmates during the long bus ride, early morning breakfasts and fun days of exploring the city.” – Lexi Barshinger

“My favorite memory from the Eagle Scholars program was the New York trip. I could say so many things about those four days, but to put it simply, I believe that it was there that I really experienced and saw what the Eagle Scholars program is all about. “Taking over” Evangel Christian School for a day was a whirlwind of planning and executing and improvising and emotion. I remember sitting in the back of the cafeteria before our day started, watching my friends prepare their lessons and presentations – one of the coolest parts of being a Christian for me is watching those I love do ministry, and I got to do that throughout the trip…It was the perfect way to end my time in the program.” – Gabby Corrao

“My sophomore year, Eagle Scholars empowered me to begin a community service project for a local nursing home. What began as a trip across town to sing Christmas carols ended with several of us in tears listening to the stories of the residents in the home. This project was more than just a grade, but a moment that opened our eyes to the world outside of Liberty University. As students, we often get lost in our own world of studies and friends, but Eagle Scholars always pushed me beyond my comfort zone to serve the community as the hands and feet of Christ. It changed the trajectory of my college career for the better.” – Kasey Lange

“Spending time with my fellow Eagles while nailing shingle after shingle into the roof of a shelter that would soon be deemed “home” by a loving family is my most cherished memory in Eagles. I was able to do something productive with my time while building relationships and learning new skills. If you offered me the chance, to glorify God, hangout with friends, and learn something new all in one sitting, I’d be there 100% of the time. Eagles in partnership with Habitat for Humanity gave me that chance.” – Joe Barr
