Liberty University Missionary Kid (MK) Scholarship 2025
At Liberty University, we are committed to supporting missionary families worldwide by providing financial assistance to their children. Our Missionary Kid Scholarship (MK Scholarship) is designed exclusively for the college-age children of missionaries serving with Liberty-approved mission agencies. This initiative enables these students to pursue higher education while staying rooted in their mission-driven values.
