Monte Vista Christian School

Our Memorial Scholarships have been funded by alumni and friends of Monte Vista Christian School to honor some of the special members of our MVCS family. 

They are ONLY awarded during the school year to outstanding enrolled students who represent the values and qualities of the individuals for whom the scholarships are named, and whose families who are facing an unexpected financial crisis.

Students must meet the qualifications described in the application form, and

are eligible to receive only one scholarship per school year.

Before filling out one of these applications, be sure you have already submitted your family financial information to FAST/ISM, and have filled out the General Scholarship Information Form.
