Students in the Templar School of Education are committed to more than academic success. As future teachers, they will shape not only young minds, but also the lives and character of the students they serve—often in communities where encouragement and stability are deeply needed.

Lucy knows firsthand the life-changing impact of a timely scholarship.

As an out-of-state student, the cost of college felt overwhelming. Scholarships were not always easy to find, and the future often felt uncertain. Still, Lucy trusted what her parents had taught her—that the Lord would provide.

Through the support of scholarships, Lucy was able to continue her education at Johnson University, grow in her faith, and prepare for a career as a Christian educator. Today, she has earned her degree and started her teaching career—with far less debt than she once feared.

"Receiving scholarships for school has been life-changing. God has provided for me in so many ways. Because of scholarships, I earned my degree and started my career with less debt than I expected."
