Academic/Leadership/Music Scholarships
These awards are offered for first time students based on ability. Eligibility is determined based on
previous GPA, past leadership and music ability. Music tryouts may be arranged with the music instructor(s).
Two-Way Matching Aid (Ohio Churches and MVA)
Up to $2,500 (community students - $1,250) may be awarded per year through this program. For
every dollar, up to $125 (community - $62.50) per month for 10 months, provided by the local Ohio
SDA church, matching dollars will be awarded by MVA toward a student’s expenses at MVA.
Parents can request the application form and submit it to the pastor or church board chair so that
approval is received early. The matching dollars are made possible by Ohio churches and MVA
alumni and friends who contribute toward the student aid fund.
Work Scholarship Program
The MVA Work/Study program provides an opportunity for students to earn dollars that will be
credited to their account. Students may ask family/friends/neighbors to invest in their education by
matching the hours the student works each month with a selected dollar amount that will be credited
to the student’s account each month. (These contributions are not tax deductible since they are
restricted to a specific student account) Pre-made forms are available for students and/or parents
who wish to use this approach.
