HOW SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AWARDED:
To apply for an LTC Scholarship, you must be a 9th - 12th grade registered student in the current LTC Convention. This
is a "paper driven" evaluation. The evaluators cannot know the personal life of each student who submits a form. Although
sponsors, parents, and others may protest that their personal knowledge of a student convinces them that a scholarship should
be awarded, we have no way to judge the award except by the information sent to the evaluators. Obviously, legibility helps.
Also, how well the student describes leadership contributions will be a very important factor in the award.
Students should clearly realize that mere participation in an activity is not necessarily evidence of leadership. These
scholarships are for those who, by their "track record" in life, have demonstrated leadership in church, school, and community.
THE PROCESS
The applications are sent into LTC at the address shown on the form by the scholarship deadline. Certain statistics are
accumulated, and then the completed scholarship forms are forwarded to the scholarship committee. This committee is comprised
of experienced Christians who are: 1 - not members of the LTC board, 2 - have no children who are eligible for any of these
scholarships, 3 - are experienced in evaluating Christian leadership, and 4 - are motivated to give out as many of these scholarships
as possible.
This committee covers up the names on all of the entries and evaluates them as a blind sample. The scholarships are then
awarded to those with the highest scores. After the winners are determined, the names are uncovered and the award list is
prepared. The scholarships are presented at the convention.
Note: Students must be registered for the “scholarship event” in order to be eligible for a scholarship! In
addition, signatures are required on the scholarship application by both the LTC Sponsor and the parent or guardian.
FOR CHRISTIAN COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS
The universities that make these scholarships available through LTC do so in hopes of enhancing their chances of attracting
high quality students to their campuses.
Note: Most leadership scholarships from Christian Colleges are not combined with other leadership scholarships. They are,
however, usually used in combination with other types of scholarships (such as academic scholarships). If you receive an LTC
scholarship, consult the college that provided it for details.
THE HEART OF AMERICA LTC SCHOLARSHIP
Each year, the Heart of America LTC Convention awards at least one scholarship to the outstanding senior applicant
(s). The actual number of LTC scholarships awarded will depend on both the number of outstanding senior applicants, as well
as the amount of available funds. This scholarship is useable at any accredited college or university.
