Lexington Presbyterian Church offers grants each year for vocational or academic educational pursuits. Preference is given to active participants in the life of our church. The grants are not limited to college, but can also be used for vocational school, graduate or professional school, or other specialized training which would further the applicant's education and assist in preparation for entrance or re-entrance into the job market.
As the cost of all education continues to rise and the amount available to award for grants fluctuates, the Campus Ministry Subcommittee would like to encourage everyone prayerfully to consider making a gift to the Grant Fund so that future assistance to grant recipients can increase. A gift could be in memory or in honor of a loved one, possibly someone who has made a major impact in someone's education or vocation.

Online Application
Download a copy of the LPC Educational Grant Application in MS Word format. First save it in a known place, then fill it in online and email it to the church office.
The application works best with post-2007 versions of Microsoft Word on the PC and Mac. The online fill-in-the-blank feature may not work with older versions of Word, Google Docs or the various "open office" versions, but you should still be able to over-type the various regions to complete the form successfully. As a last resort you can download a PDF version of the form as noted above and mail or hand-carry it to the church office. Our apologies for the inconvenience.
If you experience difficulty with the form, please let the Web Manager know. Include the type of device (PC, Mac, cell phone, tablet, etc.) and the software & version that you were using.
