To provide tuition assistance to qualifying Canadian candidates who would not otherwise be able to participate in the CREST Leadership Program due to financial constraints. Donations to the CREST Bursary Program are made by foundations, businesses and individuals interested in supporting the development of mid-life leaders who practice good financial stewardship, demonstrate strong family values and active community involvement. The CREST Bursary Fund is a project partner with The Great Commission Foundation, a registered Canadian charity. Annually The Great Commission Foundation hopes to raise three to six million dollars at an estimated cost of less than 2% for kingdom related projects.
Expectations
