If you are a graduating senior with a heart for faith, service, and achievement, this scholarship was created for you. The Voices of Thunder Scholarship is more than financial assistance. It is an investment in your future and a recognition of your hard work, character, and commitment to your community.

For many marginalized and underserved students, the path to higher education can be filled with financial and systemic barriers. Rising tuition costs and limited resources often stand in the way of talented, deserving young leaders reaching their full potential. This scholarship exists to help remove those obstacles and provide meaningful support.

While we do not always have sufficient funds to assist every applicant, we remain committed to doing our very best each year to support as many deserving students as possible. Every dollar raised through our concerts and community partnerships is directed toward expanding opportunity for our youth.

By applying, you are stepping into a legacy of support from men across our city who believe in your dreams. When you succeed, families are strengthened, churches are empowered, and our community grows stronger. Your education creates ripple effects that extend far beyond a classroom. It will impact generations to come.

Your future matters.
