COT SCHOLARSHIPS
2023-2024
GCU’s College of Theology (COT) was blessed to receive funds in support of students within the college due to the generosity of donors who participated in the university’s Day of Giving initiative. On the basis of donor contributions, COT is able to award scholarship funds totaling $6,700, distributed across four distinct categories:
- Grand Canyon Theological Seminary
